Resizing a partition without unmounting

Is there a way to resize a partition that's mounted read-only, as opposed to unmounted? Parted doesn't seem up to the task. :oops:

Why?

Got rid of a swap partition, wish to resize root partition to include what used to be swap. Do not have a live CD that can help me (Damn Small Linux is very very minimal), no CD burner, boot floppy set has suddenly borked.

Not looking good, Google seems to think no. Maybe you could order a Knoppix CD or see if you can suck up to someone here and try and get them to post an Archie CD to you. Even if it doesn't come with the tool you want, just install it.

Ah well, reinstall time then. Bloody shame.
