shrinking the /home partition

Hello, everybody,
how do you think, is it possible to shrink the /home partition from 60Gb to, say, 20Gb without lost of data or corrupting the Linux system?

it is possible,but,make a backup first.Then, use something like gparted livecd to shrink the partition.Oh,and did i mention,make a backup?

Try parted, the partition editor.
You’ll have to unmount the /home partition while you’re doing it.

Even better, try to find the GpartEd CD image, burn it, and boot from that.
