I've installed the flat image of Leopard, and it works. But now there's only a 15gb partition and my HD has a total of 40gb. How can i enlarge the partition from 15 to a full 40 gb? Thanks.

Edit: To change the partition size: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=497648 (thanks to zuza)
