by the way, i backed up the system using mondoarchive.
also, the reason i'd rather not reinstall from scratch is that there an all-in-wonder video card, and other various drivers installed and working perfectly now. i am fairly certain i would blow at least a weekend reinstalling all of that and getting it to work (and weekends are hard to come by with a 2, 5, and 6-year old running about).
thanks again!

the only problem is that it has only one data partition. what i'd really like is 5-6 partitions something like:
/ /home /local /data /boot2 /swap
You already have '/swap' and the only other default partition mentioned is '/home'. Would you be willing to add another hard drive and create on it /home, /local, /data, /boot2; mount /dev/home-on-new-disk /home-on-new-disk cp -R /home /home-on-new-disk; edit your /etc/fstab to mount /dev/home-on-new-disk as /home; reboot ?

what's my best best to make this happen? fips? fdisk? disk druid? something on the fedora install disks?
this is what it looks like now.
