Increasing disk size of FC14 image running under Win7

I've installed VirtualBox on a Win7 workstation and established a running
FC14 VM.  Everything was fine until I tried doing a yum upgrade and then I
discovered my boot partition needed to be at least 7GB! to be able to
perform the upgrade.

I've already gone into the VirtualBox interface and increased the virtual
disk size, but does anyone have any working hints on using the GParted iso
to increase the size of my VM boot partition?

Also, why didn't FC14 establish an adequately sized boot partition during
installation?  Seems odd the default install would be setup to create a boot
partition too small to ever perform a subsequent upgrade.  Did I miss
something?  Is there a way to point yum to some other place on disk to allow
the upgrade to complete?


Thanks - Tod
