The most easy way: backup, re-install/re-partition, re-store.

The more complicated way would involve compacting the many used blocks 
on disk into one object (defragmentation). I think you'll need Norton 
for this. Then you could have a problem with you Mac (an iBook, as I 
remember): you might need to have an Apple_Boot_Partition in first 8 
GB, and maybe Linux too! Some disk controllers make it impossible to 
boot from blocks behind the 8 GB border.

And I vaguely remember that I read about a Mac partition manager, maybe 
coming from Australia or New Zealand, that can shrink! I think it was 
VolumeWorks from SubRosaSoft. Isn't there a Drive Genius too?
