I got a partition that I got dsl on and then I got a couple of others that I got nothing on now. I ran out of space now, and I would want to use those partitions now.
I would want to mount my hda5 as /home, but I can't seem to get it work.
How should I do it?

Also, if I wan't to remove some space from my first partition by mounting it, where should I mount it?

You can easily mount home and/or opt to another partition using the boot options "home=hda5" and "opt=hda5". If you want to mount other directories it will be a lot more complex, since even in a traditional harddrive install /etc/fstab is automatically rebuilt during boot.

Thanks

How do I set the boot options so I don't need to specify them at boot?
