[glug-t] Re: partition

I tried mke2fs and the partition is now ext2.Now i can mount and use
it(before also i could do that but now the filesystem is
different).But still my root partition has only 632 MB free space.Is
there anyway to increase that.

/dev/hda6 was windows d drive 
now it is converted to ext2

when i type 'df' it is not listed (/dev/hda6 ) .Only when i mount it
it is listed.
