Need to make room in my parbreastion with Kernel and boot up stuff

During installation of Debian (Sarge) last year, I underestimated the boot up parbreastion size for Kernel and other stuff. Kernels had grown a lot. Wow!
On Saturday 27 May 2006 23:50, christine stood up and spoke the following words to the mbuttes incomp.os.linux.misc...: If you have more than four parbreastions, you have both primary and...
I booted up KNOPPIX v4.02 CD, and tried to resize parbreastion (I think this is where my Kernel and other boot stuff are stored), but it wouldn't let me resize.
Is there something I can do? Replace old Kernel (Linux foobar 2.6.14-2-k7 #1 Wed Dec 28 19:14:46 UTC 2005 i686 GNU-Linux), merge parbreastions, etc.? I hope I don't have I have to reformat. I only have one HDD. I would like to keep multiple Kernels too like I used to, then I ran out of disk space to keep only one.
I use Grub for my boot loader.

I should still have plenty of room. Where did all the disk space go? Or is it another parbreastion-directories? When I downloaded and installed the newer Kernel, it said I ran out of disk space so it never finished so I had to clean up the mess. I buttume it needs extra room for temporary stuff (extractions?)?
Before you can increase the size of a parbreastion, you need to have unallocated space *immediately* after the last block of that parbreastion...
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Suggested packages: Recommended packages: libc6-i686 The following NEW packages will be installed: 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 15.8MB of archives. After unpacking 45.5MB of additional disk space will be used.
Thanks Mark, that would've been my next step, along with making sure the kernel is setup with the correct driver for...
It looks like I need more than 46 MB??
Thank you in advance. :) -- "Be thine enemy an ant, see in him an elephant." --Turkish Proverb - Please remove ANT if replying by e-mail. ( )
