Hi,
I am currently running a mailling list server, on a RH 4.2 (kernel 2.0.30) box.
The system is set up with a 1GB hard drive for the Linux native partition
(IDE1) and a second hard drive (IDE2) for the swap partition (128MB).
hda IDE1 master linux native
hdb IDE1 slave cd-rom
hdc IDE2 master linux swap
The IDE2 hard drive is pretty large, and as I don't use it for anything
else but the swap, I would like to exchange it for a smaller one I have in
spare (~250MB)
Is there any way I can replace do that ? Can I connect the smaller HD as
hdd (IDE2 slave), create a swap partition on it (same size as the current
one), format the partition and then unplug the hdc and use the new hard
drive as the swap partition ?
How can I do that stpe by step ? Where in the system can I specify the Swap
partition ? How can I format it ? Do I need to boot up from a floppy ?
Remy
