I have redhat enterprise WS installed on my computer partitioned as
shown below.  How do i manipulate partitions and resize them? Example,
how do i reduce /usr and expand /var.  Thanks in advance for any inputs.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7            1012M  275M  686M  29% /
none                     0     0     0   -  /proc
