Thanks for the help guys, What I actually wound up doing was using the installation disks to try and make hda4 my home directory after partitioning with cfdisk. After that I had some system behavior that I didnt like so I reinstalled everything again. I forgot that it took 2 hours to install. LOL.
However, I only alloted 4G of space for everything except for my home directory. Unfortunately, the system says I have used 98.6 percent of the system partition. Is it possible to safely resize an existing partition? OR! Should I reinstall the OS again with more room.
