Has anyone managed to change the partitioning on their hard disk?
If so, how?

I would like to change the partitioning on my 660Mb hard disk.
Right now, / has 446719 k bytes, and /clients has 216311.
BuildDisk doesn't seem to have any options about how large
to make these, or what to call them.  I want to have more
disk space available in one directory (I'm working with
lots of very large files).  I would like to make the / partition
about 310Mb (279M usable, 223M system stuff, 55M free) and
the /clients partition about 352Mb (316M usable).  I would
then keep these large files in /clients

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Pat McGee
