Thanks to everyone on debian-user and #debian. Special thanks to Netgod and Asterix. You all saved my laptop from ruination (repartition).
Everthing went smoothly. Now I have three partitions of equal size (1Gb). Yet, now I fear a problem coming on. My first partition is 11% filled, my 2nd partition contains only /usr and is 88% to capacity, and the last has /home which is %15 percent (due to monsterous soffice install). Is there a command in fdisk or someother app that will allow my 2nd partion (88% /usr) to grow if need be? Rather, what can I do to ensure that /usr can have more room to grow. 12% percent is not enough. I doubt /home will ever need 1gb.
