I have read the forums and the docs but don't understand how to do this.

I have had Knoppix 3.1 running on a 12 gig hd. I used knx-hdinstall to set it up. It was the only OS on this machine and the only HD.

Yesterday I added a new larger HD as hda and made my existing drive hdb. Using Knoppix 3.3 (the Nov14/03 version) and knoppix-installer I did a debian type install to the new hd.

I formatted the new hd with a boot partition, a swap partition, a partition to install knoppix to and then a large fourth partition which I intend to make my home partition. I left the old hd, now hdb, as it was. The installer sees both drives and it did install knoppix to hda but there are several things I need to sort out.

- The large partition I intended to use for /home didn't get formatted and I haven't been able to figure out how to format it or how to get the OS to use that as /home rather than the /home directory it created in the smaller partition I put knoppix in. I did see some instructions about how to do this that ended with a note that they were not required with the new installer. I used the new installer but I didn't see any place to deal with this.


- On boot it looks like the system is using the swap partion on the old drive, now hdb, rather than the new swap partition on hda. I tried to use cfdisk when it came up during the install to go into hdb and change the type of that partiion on hdb so it wouldn't see that as a swap partiion but it said hdb was readonly and wouldn't let me do anything with it.

- I have a bunch of stuff in /home on hdb. Can I just copy that (data files, settings for mozilla, etc) to /home on hda and expect it to work?

- When I get past these things, how do I get hdb to become extra space for my /home partition that can be used in addition to /home on hda?

Thanks for any help!
