Shrink an ext2 filesystem to its minimum size:
{{{
tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sda1 (dash cap oh) (ext3->ext2, delete journal)
fsck.ext2 -f /dev/sda1 (check filesystem)
resize2fs -M /dev/sda1 (shrink filesystem)
}}}

Take note of the output from resize2fs above. It is listed in 4k blocks. But fdisk expects sizes to be specified in 1k blocks, so when you resize the partition, take the above number and multiply by 4.03 (absolute minimum, no room to grow).

Shrink the partition (for efficient imaging):
{{{
fdisk /dev/sda 
  d <delete existing>
  n <new primary> 1, start cyl = 1, size = +x (calculated above)
  a <make it bootable> 1
  w <write the new partition table>
  q <quit>
}}}
