Extending swap + / fs ?

[Cody_Sparks at Dell.com]

ext2online will allow you to resize ext2/3 partitions on the fly.

to answer your question, though, you could boot to the redhat CD and enter "linux rescue" at the "boot: " prompt and perform the changes there, but ext2online should prevent you from having to do this.
