Hi, 1) When i installed Gentoo i had two other OS systems, Windows XP and Red Hat 7.3. Grub was installed on the MBR and grub used the /boot to read the grub.conf from RH on /dev/hda8. Now i Gentoo is almost compleet, and the partition 4GB is full for 84 %, so its time to delete the RH partition and move some data to new created partitions. If i delete the /dev/hda8 will my system still boot and how to change his, so it uses /boot from my Gentoo on /dev/hda11? I know i have to change the partition numbers to keep Gentoo boot.
this command at the grub prompt
root(hd0,11)
2) If this is done i'm going to create new partitions and move /usr /var /home to
there new partitions. Whats the best way to do this?
cp -Rp
tar -cvpf
...
My grub.conf
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=3
splashimage=(hd0,10)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Gentoo 1.4_r3
root (hd0,11)
kernel (hd0,10)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda12 hdc=ide-scsi
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-26.7.x)
root (hd0,7)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-26.7.x ro root=/dev/hda9 hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-26.7.x.img
A lot of questions, i know but Gentoo is still verry new to me
TIA
Patrick
