[X4U] Leopard (From Mac Observer)

[Jeff Johnson]

I tried Leopard's new "Live Partition Resizing" feature using Disk
Utility, which allows you to (re)partition a hard drive w/o erasing it
in the process. The result: an Intel iMac with Leopard on one
partition and my previous Tiger OS (and all apps and docs) on the
other. Very cool.

Live Partition Resizing in Disk Utility
You may be able to gain disk space without losing data. If a volume is
running out of space, simply delete the volume that comes after it on
the disk and move the volume's end point into the freed space.
