My present set up has SuSE 9.0 on hdb1 as / , hdb2 as swap, hdb3 as /home. hda 
has win98 which I've reduced to occupying only 10% of hda. I would like to 
move SuSE to hda which is a much bigger disk. If I copied/ made dirs on hda. 
Altered fstab entries and the grub entries to correspond to the new 
locations. Would everything work as normal? This would save me much time 
configuring/installing/updates, plus not having installation disks, I used 
ftp to install for my original setup, which took a few days to work ok.

Any advice welcome, 
thanks, Peter C
