I'll be there, God willing, but I may actually need some help if I don't get
this system installed right today. My boss has me installing a Vector
Linux-based (Slackware-based) linux on an old box at work. I made a partition
for / and a large one for /home, but it never formatted the large partition,
and put everything into the / partition.

I need to format the large partition in ext3 and make it the /home partition,
but don't know all the commands to do it.

/ is /dev/hda1
swap is /dev/hda2
/home will be on /dev/hda3

If someone can tell me the steps to take and the commands to use to do this,
then hopefully I can just help tomorrow instead of taking up resources on my
own problem. thanks!
