It *shouldn't* destroy anything. Of course it's possible, but I haven't seen it happen. I would suggest removing anything on /hom, deleting it, and making the other partition bigger. Just make sure you don't cut the power or anything while you're doing it. -- Justin Patrin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
