Move partition ?

[mpierce]

Here are my partitions. Am wondering if I can umount /usr/local and move it to root? If so, how?

mpierce@daisy:~$ df -h

/dev/sda1 19G 433M 18G 3% /
varrun 1013M 276K 1013M 1% /var/run

Yes, you can do it, but you'd need a live CD to move the files over and change your /etc/fstab appropriately.
