Last time I tried this I managed to lose my /home partition, so I'm going to
ask for help first, this time :-) How do I manage this without losing
anything?
I'm going to remove /dev/hda, the original 30 gig HD, from this machine. I
am keeping /dev/hdb (60 gig), which will become the only HD on the system for
the moment.
At this time the system boots from hda. hda has everything on it except one
user's home directory, /home/dad.
I have plenty of room to play with while switching things. Usage is:
[root@[EMAIL PROTECTED] ffraley]$ df
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 3.4G 1.4G 1.9G 41% /
/dev/hda6 15G 9.6G 4.4G 69% /home
/dev/hdb1 11G 132M 11G 2% /home/dad
/dev/hda1 11G 8.7G 1.4G 87% /mnt/windows
I am not going to be reinstalling MSwindows on this machine but it does need
to be on the 30 gig HD and working (a relative term) when things are
finished. I will also be dual-booting MDK from the 30 gig after installing
it on my wife's new machine.
Can someone point me to a cheat sheet for this, or list the steps?
