Hi,

I have installed DSL on an old P120Mhz, 32mb RAM, 500Mb HD... and all is working.

However, to succesfully install, i set up hda as follows
hda1 approx 300mb ext 2 linux space
hda2 approx 32mb swap
hda3 remaining ext 2 linux space (used as the 'install from' space during the poormans install)

I installed on hda1... hda3 is currently unused, can i merge these 2 partitions, or am i better off calling hda3 /home?

If i want to turn hda3 into my /home area, how do i go about this?

cheers
Justin
