First, please put the main issue into the body as well.

You cannot resize a running linux, so you would either have to use the
install cd as a "livecd",  if it contains parted or similar programs
(cfdisk does not shrink filesystems), or - the safe alternative - download
the mini "gparted" livecd and do it with that one.
