I need some advice on how to do this without cocking it up. When I built
the new system from scratch, I let it put home in the same partition as
root.

I found instructions for moving it to a new partition: 
http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/

that seem to be straightforward. When I investigated, I discovered that
my sda7 had all the home stuff from my previous build. So I didn't
remember that I had done this already. 

Can I just use the steps from renaming my current home to old_home,
editing fstab as per instructions, and everything will be OK, or is
there more?

Thanks for any advice.

Peter M.
