How do I decrease the width of the line tool?

Can anyone tell me how I can decrease the width of the line tool on Photoshop to less than one 1pt (or 0.035cm)? Working at some resolutions I can't create a fine enough line - but I'm damned if I know how to make it thinner! Is it the line weight I need to adjust or is there some other way around this problem...?

TIA

It is in the "unobtainium" menu.

Why do you need less than one pixel? Use a large enough canvas so that one pixel is equal to your desired width and be happy.

Easy. Don't work in points. Work in pixels. Set the width to "1 px". The "px" tells Photoshop you want pixels, not points.

Ah, right - I understand!

I didn't realise that you could state pixel width - I thought it was only point widths and millimeter widths. (The previous two replies from 'John' and 'Katwoman' obviously hadn't read my post properly and thought I was simply working at too low a resolution).

But thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply...
