Has anybody done this?  Is it as simple as I am thinking it is?

To get a modest sized partiton (500MB) to play around with some things I 
want to "glue" together the hda1 hda2 and hda3 partitions of my /dev/hda:

[root@haystack runge]# fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1582 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
   
   Device Boot    Start      End   Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1       32   257008+   6  DOS 16-bit >=32M
/dev/hda2            33       48   128520   82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3            49       64   128520   82  Linux swap
/dev/hda4            65     1582 12193335    5  Extended
/dev/hda5            65       80   128488+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda6            81       96   128488+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda7            97     1582 11936263+  83  Linux native


Can I just go into fdisk, delete the first 3 and then create a bigger 
hda1?  I have NT 4.0 on /dev/hda1 and haven't booted it in years; it
would be fun to delete and recycle it along with the swap :-)

I understand the hda* names will (may?) all change, and I am prepared
to fix this in /etc/lilo.conf and /etc/fstab.

I have a sinking feeling I am forgetting something here... please
remind me before it is too late!
