man parted

I can't tell you what to do, as that program is little interactive. Just
think about what you are going to, and do it. There is a zillion ways to
do it. Try resizing different partitions, and moving. You should of
course be using parted from a bootdisk. I remember seeing RH8 installer
with it.  Just ctrl+alt+f2 and parted /dev/hda

1gb is a tiny amount of space. 
don't waste time.
