Moving file systems around to new partitions



My hard disk is set up so my root directory and all subdirectories are on
the same primary partition.  Another problem is that the primary partition
is set up at the beginning part of the disk while my swap partition is
located across town at the other end of the disk.

Obviously, I didn't know what I was doing when I installed my Debian
installation.  Now that I have a slight clue, I want to fix the problem.

My question is: am I stuck with what I've got?  I'd like to rearrange things
to put the swap file at the beginning of the disk followed by another
primary partition containing the file system subdirectories appropriately
isolated from each other in their own logical partitions.  How can I do this
without deleting files?
