Currently on my system I have a single Linux partition, a swap partition, a
bootstrap, and a Mac OS HFS partition. I originally created the HFS
partition to run MOL, but since I never use MOL, I want to replace the HFS
partition with a Linux partition. I'm vaguely familiar with pdisk, but I
don't want to mess around with something that can wipe out all of my data.
My HFS partition is hda6, and it is 700 MB in size. What command should I
use to remove the Mac OS partition and replace it with a Linux partition
that is the same size? And after that's done, I'd like to move my /home/
directory to the new partition. How can I move it over there and update my
system settings so that home/ on the second partition is recognized as the
home folder? Also, disk quotas would be nice, if anyone can point me to
some documentation on how to set them up on my new partition...
