Yeah James - way to go - may the Force be with you Anne .... ;)
Just remember - it make no difference where you move a partition's content
under Linux. The only problem that could show up is with Lilo/Grub - but if
you adapt fstab accordingly, and the directories exist - it works.
If by mistake you delete the partition table - and had a printout of
fdisk -l /dev/hdx for the start/end points - the last time it worked - you can
recover the data without a problem. That's why I never do backups... I do as
Linus said a long time ago: "Backups are for cowards. Post it to the Internet
- and the Net will back it up for you"
Did that loads of times already :)
Cheers
Joerg
