Xubuntu 7.10 but I'm sure that that doesn't matter.
I re-installed Xubuntu yesterday and with different partitions. I found that I had a lot of wasted space in my home partition as I use my second HD for stuff I create/save like documents, images pdf files etc.
So yesterday with the Alt CD I reinstalled Xfce creating:
10.00G = fat32 - dos (now deleted)
65.21G = Extended Partition with the following Logical Partitions
10.0G = / - shows as: 9.31G = "BOOT"
30.0G = /home - shows as: 27.94G
28.5G = /usr - shows as: 26.53
01.5G = swap - shows as: 1.43G
Thinking that /usr was a partition for a "user" I quickly learned that it is the /usr folder from the root partition
So here's the questions;
Can I "move" the contents of that partition to the root partition and recover that partition for myself?
or
Do I have to re-install at least the root and recover that partition through the Partition Editor while installing?
If I have to "reinstall" can I do it this way:
All Primary Partitions
10.00G = Primary Partition - BOOT (nothing on it; for W2K at some point I feel like installing, it because my ISP doesn't support Linux)
10.0G = /
30.0G = /home
28.5G = /something for me to use
01.5G = swap - shows as: 1.43G
I have the SuperGRUB Disk so I'm not to worried about installing W2K "after" Linux.
Any help appreciated.
Have a Nice Day
