Probably safer to do it this way:

cd ~username
cd ..
ls

You should see the user's home directory here, wherever it is.

sudo chown -R username username
sudo chmod -R go-rwx username

There are GUI tools to do this. You can also be selective... I've
left my home in the usual place, but I've got another home on the
second partition and I've symlinked anything big over there because
I've heard there's problems sometimes with some software that
assumes your home is on the system disk.

I've also used swapswapvm to put the swap on the second partition.

I'm sure that whatever directory disk-copy uses for the DVD can be
symlinked to the big partition as well.
