Resize partition

What's the best way to resize an existing partition (say /boot)?  Does
the rescue CD give me that capability?  See here's my problem, my /boot
partition is sitting directly between / and the free space I opened up
with qtparted.  I've tried mkpartfs for that free space, but parted
errors out saying unable to use partition constraints.  So what I want
to do is move /boot to the front of the free space and resize / to
utilize that new space.  Is this possible or should I just re-install.  

I've not ever had this problem with on disk before, it's either all ext3
or all NTFS (or FAT) so it's a new challenge for me, but now I"m stuck.
