RedHat expand a partition

Can I expand a partition in RedHat? According to "hardware browser", I have 42GB of "free space". Can I allocate some of this to another partition (such as / )?

This is with RHEL3 ES.

Thanks.

You probably could do this using GParted:

Indeed you could. gparted is perfect for the job. They even have a Live CD you can download, complete with a nice friendly GUI.

Ok I downloaded GParted but the ./configure results show that I need libparted 1.7.1 and gtkmm-2.4. So I installed libparted-1.7.1 fine, but gtkmm says it needs glibmm and akt. Well glibmm needs sigc++-20, glib-20, gobject-20, and gmodule.

Why do I have to download and install so many things? This seems a little extreme. Is there a simpler way?
Yes, download the LiveCD version.

My system is live, it says that the CD is an ISO image which can only be used on a boot.
