if you are open to the idea of creating different partitions for different directories...(which you seem to be..) then this shouldn't be impossible..
all that you need to do is create for eg. a 5 Gb partition (from the 19Gb and format it as ext3). then copy all your /home stuff verbatim to the new partition as "/" .. i.e. mount -t ext3 /dev/hdx /mnt/temp cp /home/* /mnt/temp -R umount /mnt/temp mount -t ext3 /dev/hdx /home (your old /home is now temporarily unavailable.. but you can always regain it by rebooting it to "root" and copying that directory into something else like home-old etc...) i am a learner too. i have tried this and it works. but i'd suggest that if its very critical data, you wait for half a day for anyone on the list to respond to this email if there is something drastically wrong with this.. but i think it should work fine... affly rbs On Sat, 2003-08-02 at 02:04, Viksit Gaur wrote: > Hi! _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
