Slip-up on my part -
To move file from /home (old) to /home (new) U need to temporarily mount the /dev/sda1 in the first place.
$ su -
password: *******
# mkdir /mnt/my80gigHOME ! this is a new folder in your old drive
# mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/my80gigHOME
# cd /mnt/my80gigHOME
# mkdir /home ! This is going to be your /home dir on 80 gig
! now transfer (copy) files from /home to /mnt/my80gigHOME/home including all hidden files.
# cd
# umount /mnt/my80gigHOME
! now edit your /etc/fstab as briefed previously
! and reboot (I do not know how to do this without rebooting)
$ mount ! this should tell that /home is now on /dev/sda1
! find your files now at /home on 80 gig plus and take care of dups on old one.
! U can delete folder my80gigHOME that should be emply at this point.
Sorry for the missing nail now that you have it ... ride the horse and conquer.
PS: Beware of nails used elsewhere!!!
