disk reorganisation question

[Nigel Metheringham]

Folks,

Please could you let me know if the following is possible with parted

I have the following partitioning:-

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       962   7272688+   c  Win95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda3           963       971     68040   83  Linux
/dev/hda4           972      4134  23912280    5  Extended
/dev/hda5           972      1107   1028128+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda6          1108      4134  22884088+  83  Linux

[This is a laptop with original win2k install, resized down (by parted -
thanks) and a RH install done later.  The Linux partitions are ext2 and
/boot + / respectively]

I now, having managed to frag my win2k install :-) want to change this
to reclaim nearly all of the FAT space used - I need to leave some for a
suspend/hibernate partition.

So I want to:-
  - reduce hda1 substantially (easy)
  - relocate hda3 to fit in after hda1 (easy)
  - grow/move hda4 (extended) to start after hda3
  - reorganise hda5/hda6 accordingly so that hda6 gets all the
    space freed up by reducing hda1

Can this be done?

Thanks
    Nigel.
