Hi all,
Again, thanks to all for the support, systems, ideas (& laughs - "The
Prius Upgrade" -- sounded a bit like my old Landrover!)
Ok... tried the F12-KDE Live cd & am very impressed, especially as it
decided "orl on its own" to treat my laptop screen & plugged in monitor
as a dual head where I spent 5 minutes looking for my cursor before I
realised it was on the other screen...... so now I wwant to use
preupgrade to zap 11 to 12.
When I first installed F11 on the laptop, I setup several partitions
(suggestions from O'Reilly's "running Linux"...), which now doesn't seem
such a good idea or necessary idea.
What I'd like to do is to move the contents of /usr /local & /tmp from
their individual partitions into the / partition & delete the individual
(now empty) partitions, sharing the space out amongs / and /Home.
Q1. Is this possible?
if yes,
Q2. Do I a) do the mv (or cp + rm) of the contents then b) use KDE4
Partitionmanager to unmount the partitions & modify the space and c)
remove the unneeded entries from fstab, restart & all is OK?
or Q3. Is there a way with one of the CLI partitioners to merge the
individual partitions with the existing / partition?
As ever, many thanks for taking the time to help me out!
Dave in freezing cold Rauris.
PS is therre a way of searching 'man' pages to look for "a command that
does 'x' "?
