Can you grow a primary partition into unused extended partition space? |

Greetings,
I have a dual-boot RH 9 /Windows 98 machine. I need
more usable space for the Win98 games my kids want to
install. I'd prefer to expand the primary fat32
partition from 1309.987 to 4314.361, but can't find
anything in parted that explains what happens if you
try to increase the size of the primary into the
extended space. Can anyone walk me through this
process? If this isn't practical, I can go ahead and
create a new partition with the unused space on the
extended partition.
Thanks much for your help!
John
