sorry for all the questions... if I were going to move lets say /usr and /home to the
new drive
I would have to create two partitions and follow the steps above for each?
here's a question for you.. what directories tend to take up the most space?
I know /var/cache/apt/archives tends to get pretty big, and probably /bin,
/usr.. i'm thinking I would need a partition for each.. how do I know how much space to
allot to each? if I make it too little I could be faced with re-partitioning
the drive..
oy!
