repartitioning
Ok. I've been running linux since about march, and when I installed, I
installed entirely to one partition. Having since realized the error of
my ways, and having filled up the first (400 mb) partition I originally
installed it on, I've decided to repartition and make seperate partitions
for /, /usr, /tmp, /usr/local, and /var (are there any others it might
be usefull to make seperate partitions out of?).
I have close to a gig of _unpartitioned_ space left on my drive.
Is there any way I can either
a) partition this empty space into a bunch of new partitions and <move> my
current system onto it, without completely reinstalling?
b) or can I somehow repartition the space I'm already using without
deleting everything?
Basically, I started with a 1.2 CD. I've upgraded bits n'pieces
since, and to re-download them all would probably take me a week or more,
if I can even find everything ... so I'd like to avoid a complete
reinstall.
