Partition the 1.2 as a Linux swap partition, edit /etc/fstab to point to
there for a swap.

What do I look for in /etc/fstab to poin to the
old HDD, and will it use it? Someone indicated
there was a limit to the size of the swap
partition ...

Anybody know an easy way to losslessly repartition ext3 to fill the void
after removing an old swap partition?
==================================================
Wasn't there a safe partitioning tool that would
permit you to change the kind of partition it was
without touching the other partitions?
I seem to remember seeing one ...
