[ltp] Wasted Free Space

Pardon me if this is off topic for this list, but I had no success with
Usenet.

Because of mistakes I made when installing Corel Linux on my ThinkPad
385XD the computer has a small swap partition and about 23Mb wasted
free space at the end of the hard drive right next to the swap
partition.

Is there any way I can delete the swap partition so as to merge it with
the free space, and then format the resulting free space as a swap
partition?  I've looked at linux Fdisk and FIPS but find them hard to
understand.  

So far as I know Partition Magic 5 needs Microslop Windows to install,
and I don't have any Microslop products on my computer.
