Making the Win95->Linux transition

Over the few months, I have [slowly] been making the transition from
Win to Lin. I've had some stumbling blocks along the way, thanks everyone
for your help so far.!

Here's my present dilemma: when I first installed Debian, I was told a
600MB partition is *more* than enough. It seems that is no longer the
case (although I'm really not sure why, I don't have frivolities like
games n' stuff [yet] ) My HD is 2.1 Gigs, so my Win 95 partition is a hog
that I'd like to shrink eventually to nothing. For now, I'd like to up my
Linux partition to 1-1.2 gigs. How can I do this? (there was a similar
question asked a couple weeks ago, but it involved wiping out the win95
partition completely) since I'm a hardcore newbie, I would really
appreciate not getting an answer like "just use fdisk." I know nothing
about partitioning. I would also appreciate a solution with minimal
typing.. due to a recent accident with a sharp kitchen knife, I only have
the use of one typing hand.

thanks,

Geoff Smith
