I have the following apps in my 3rd partition, which is 100+ gigs:
Address Book AppleScript BBEdit 7.1 Calculator Chess Clock easy beat GuitarVision iCal iChat iMovie iSync Kodak EasyShare Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 Macromedia Extension Manager Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004 Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Mail Safari Stickies Stone Studio Windows Media Player
I haven't started learning the Macromedia stuff yet, and I don't use the Apple Address Book, iCal, iChat, or iMovie. But I assume they'll work fine if I ever do! I use Mail every day, it works great. Safari works, but I'm using Camino for my browser right now. I know BBEdit works. Stone Studio, easy beat, and Chess work. I just used the calculator yesterday.
All these apps work fine, my computer works fine - and all I did was drag and drop them into an Applications folder I made in my 3rd partition. I then deleted them out of my 2nd OS X partition.
It didn't give me shivers; no one ever told me I wasn't supposed to do it, though! That's why I'm on this forum! Someone let me know if I need to move any of those apps back. I certainly have enough non-Apple apps in my OS X partition I can swap out.

That just gave me a nervous jitter ;-) Some applications are expected to be
in the Applications folder on the startup partition, like all of Apple's
apps including the apps in the utilities folder, so you don't want to move
those!
On my old iBook, I made an app-folder for non-apple-applications in my home
folder that I had put on my second partition, and that worked well. Some
applications may need to be re-registered, I guess, but that should be worth
the hassle.
Cheers,
Kim
