Luis,
I came to a similar conclusion shortly after I posted the instructions.
I am a little gun shy, now that I have a working system, to go the
resize route. But I think it is the right way to go. Perhaps split
the difference and resize part3 to be larger, then recreate the fourth
partition of, say, 1 GB.
PJE,
The problem with the fourth partition is that you are left with not so
much room on the third partition if you want to add packages to the
system.
Of course, one can certainly mount the fourth partition read/write and
even move subdirs like /var or /usr/share into the fourth partition to
make room in the third partition. But that may be more trouble than
it's worth, assuming the resize option is bulletproof.
Regards,
jw
