I've tried more variations than I can keep any
good track of. By "greyed out" I mean the bit,
common to many software situations where,
when something isn't available the item you
should click is dimmer than it should be and
doesn't respond. The instance that seems to
be blocking me is that the block of +, -, and
Change is dimmed out and not responding.
I believe (so far) that's where I need to be able
to click to get the results.

I don't think the problem is the highlighting of
the partition name, but I can give the df a try
when I get some time to go back and try again.
I am beginning to think that perhaps my netbook
is just too poor a piece of hardware to adjust my
partition sizes. I am getting similar results trying
to use GParted (the version I get using apt-get,
but I haven't worked my way through the "live
CD" version download direct from sourceforge
yet.

I don't appear to have GParted available after an
install until I do the apt-get bit.
I'll be back on this after a few days.
