Restore mksysb/shrink filesystems

OK - got a question for ya...

I have an R50 I just upgraded to 5.1, then applied ML4.

After the upgrade, I removed all of the junk that used to be on the system
before it was given to me as a sandbox (printers, DB2, etc).

This left me with lots of freespace in /usr and /.

So I took a mksysb (actually, 2 of them), and booted off the AIX 5.1 CD and
wanted to restore with a "Shrink Filesystems". But I could not find the
option to shrink them.

Anyone got any ideas ?
