-Output should something like this:
-[[File:Fdisk-output.png|thumb]]
 * Resize using 'parted':
-   * parted /dev/sda
+This is assuming that you need to resize /dev/sda2 (which the 'print' command will help you determine)
-   * print
+   * `parted /dev/sda`, opens the partition table editor for /dev/sda
-   * resizepart 2 100%
+   * `print`, double-checks the disk layout
-   * quit
+   * `resizepart 2 100%`, choose partition you want to resize, here partition 2 is resized to use all available space
-This is assuming that you need to resize /dev/sda2 (which the 'print' will help you determine)
+   * `quit`, exit parted
