Move FAT32 partition to linux



Just to confirm:

I've got this on a laptop:

# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 20.0 GB, 20003880960 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2432 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *           1         758     6088603+   b  W95 FAT32
/dev/hda2            2402        2432      249007+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda3            2280        2401      979965   83  Linux
/dev/hda4             759        2279    12217432+  83  Linux

I have no need for the FAT32 partiton, so is the procedure as simple as:

1) use cfdisk to change the type to 83 Linux and write the partition 
table

2) format:

    mkfs.xfs /dev/hda1

3) update /etc/fstab to mount it some place handy.

Missing anything obvious?  Any need to re-run lilo?
