[ale] vmware decreasing hard disk size

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

Scott:

I resized using gparted and not the vmware utility to do so.  You got a
point.  I should do so.

David:
I did not install a boot loader on the disk.  I thougt if the only os is
Linux a boot loader is not needed.
Can you please provide a bit clarification so I can do so ?
