Red Hat 6.2 Installation

I also strongly recommend the use of Partition Magic to resize a hard 
drive. I use it every so often to make changes on my system, which I 
have partitioned with a / /var /home and /home1 partition. The reason for 
the separate partitions is that I had a hardware problem that was causing 
some crashes (and now fixed), and smaller partitions are easier to 
manage. I backup other systems on my internal network on /home1, 
which is only mounted temporarily.
