I am sure I could easily copy the rpms/kernel stuff over to it and then unmounts the real /boot and mount this new area as /boot.

Hi,

Since a lot of people seem to say none of the above can be done, I'm 
starting to feel slightly unsure, but I though gparted could extend, 
shrink and move partitions while preserving data. You'd have to use the 
"live" version when operating on system partitions. See https://gparted.org
