 is there any way i can do it 'manually'?  as in boot the machine with
a boot disk, shuffle the partitions around somehow (with dd maybe?), and
edit the partition table on the disk (either manually or with fdisk) to
reflect the changes.

 maybe it's less trivial than i anticipated.  i thought somebody might
have done it before.

 thanks for your help.
