I have one drive with just 8.2 pro on it, no partitions. I want to move my home dir to a seperate partition so that upgrades (or different distros) can share the directory. I have heaps of free space, so that's not an issue. When I used windows and dual booted, I used partition magic to make partitions. I understand that there isn't a gui partitioner for linux, although I saw a gui for qparted somewhere and tried it, failed to compile - deps. I'm not scared of using cli tools, but is there a good how-to so's I don't make a mess of it? I know I should have used yast2 to custom partiton when I started, putting home, and possibly temp & var, on seperate partitions, but I didn't. Jake

There is a howto: '/usr/share/doc/howto/en/mini/Hard-Disk-Upgrade.gz'

No? Yast does it - of course, it doesn't "move" as ghost does. Then there is a tool for resizing, but I have never used it. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
