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.
Haha, I almost had everything perfectly set up. I should have waited for
your email. Only problem is I use a boot floppy and using the cli
commands to make another has yet to be successful for me.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 If I drop out of X (how do you kill X once it is going?) 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? The reason that this is a problem is because / is on a 3GB partition, / var/www is on a 27GB partition and home is on a 67GB partition (amazingly /boot is where it should be, on a 68MB ext3 partition) No one partition is above 1GB in usage (that would be /). What I want to do is put /var/www on the 3GB partition, / on the 67GB partition and /home on the 27GB partition. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/5ble6i+npmQve9oRArzvAJ9cnQkipVHGqB0kFayLzlISjuAIvQCgngug webM+2phMyxbtjwrtQqOLUo= =hcmo -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
