Hi,
I'm currently dual-booting winXP Pro and FC1, and the time has come to free 
myself from Microsoft!  (long pause while cheers and applause subside)

I have a really, really, really great install of FC1 working now, and prefer 
not to do a complete reinstall.

I've googled a bit and looked around on the LDP for a HOWTO, but haven't found 
anything acceptable.

My current setup:
[root at moe root]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hdc: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77545 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1   *         1       203    102280+  83  Linux
/dev/hdc2           204     75465  37932048   83  Linux
/dev/hdc3         75466     77545   1048320   82  Linux swap

Disk /dev/hda: 20.5 GB, 20525137920 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 39770 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1     39749  20033023+   7  HPFS/NTFS

Grub is installed in the MBR of /dev/hda.

I would like to have the following new setup:
/boot, /, swap on /dev/hda
/home, /tmp, swap on /dev/hdc
Grub in the MBR of /dev/hda

I have a good backup, and don't mind reinstalling if there's no other option, 
but I was wondering if anyone could give me a nudge in the right direction?
