Ctrl+Alt+Bksp will kill your X server; if you're running under a display manager [gdm, kdm, xdm, wdm], that will probably restart the server, so you'd need to log in on the console as root and run /etc/init.d/xdm stop (or equivalent). > and make temp folders and start moving stuff around, can I just > rearrange everything (while making the appropriate changes in > FSTAB)? Or can I just change FSTAB and reboot and everything is > miraculously where it should be? Just changing /etc/fstab won't cause the data to magically move between partitions. If I were doing this level of shuffling, I'd probably shut the system down to single-user mode ('shutdown' or 'telinit 1' as root). If you're trying to move the root partition, I'd do it while booted from your favorite restore media; remember in that case to also update your bootloader configuration to know where the new root partition is. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
