I read about Partition Resizer and it is not at all clear whether it can 
resize a linux partition that has files in it, but I did figure out that 
it moves all your files somewhere else before resizing a partition.  On a 
large enough drive, that has spare room and more than one partition, you 
could probably make one big .tgz file out of everything, copy it to a 
different partition, then delete the original partition and make two new 
ones and put back the files to one of them, in order to get a smaller 
partition.  Or you could copy it all to a different computer, redo the 
first one, and copy things back.  I would not have dreamed of doing this 
before getting ethernet working (12 sec at 100MBit for my entire linux 
setup).
