resizing / partition

Is it possible to resize the / partition using Parted?  I would like to
repartition the hdd on my laptop running the latest FC1.  It currently has the
following partitions:

1 /boot
2 /
3 swap

These partitions take all the space on the hdd with / being the largest one.  I
would like to resize the / partition so that I can add a new partitionfor
testing  purposes.  I tried using Parted to do this but it gave me a warning
that said it couldn't cleanly unmount the partition and that I should e2fsck.  I
stopped at this point, as I was afraid of losing data.  Was this warning a
problem?  Can I still resize this partition even though it is mounted?  If not,
is there another way to resize the partition without having to use a live CD of
some kind?

Thanks,
PRINCE
