And Gparted provides a very partition-magic like X11 interface to parted(?),
I don't see it part of the standard CentOS 5.1 distribution, I've
only used it under Ubuntu, and it can resize FAT32/NTFS etc no
problem(not sure about FAT16).

$ apt-cache show gparted
Package: gparted
[..]
Description: GNOME partition editor
 GParted uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition
 tables while several (optional) filesystem tools provide support for
 filesystems not included in libparted.
