Thanks for all the info guys. Looks like it's easier to back up and start again! :-/
I really didn't want to admit defeat because I've got no straight forward way of backing up, or at least I thought until just now! I have a ibook G3 running 9.1 here, can I simply copy the contents of the 500MB (7.6.1) partition to a folder on the ibook via the ethernet network, then wipe the LCIII+ and partition how I need, install the system back to the 500MB partition I would have just created (along with several other partitions), and then drag all the files back over the network? I've got a tonne of programs and stuff set up that's taken a good bit of time to get running nicely and I'm leery of queering it up by starting over!
