Peter, no matter WHAT advice you get, don't go there. I did <grin>

instead partition your disk as 10G /, 1G swap, rest /home plus whatever else 
you want. EDGY gave me a hard time doing that, but many tries later all 
worked. Then you can re-install your root with minimal impact on everything 
else. 

Then 32->64 upgrade is easy and quick (re-install /, don't touch /home, sql 
dumped)

PS FYI: /dev/hda1 /, "You have not selected a root partition" round-n-round
