To All:


I redid my main cpu and all was looking pretty good, until i checked SDB1.

I screwed it up and have a HUMONGOUS /var dir and a very small /home dir. I manged to get the small partion reformatted under root as /var.

I cannot get the old /var reformatted as /home? HELP!

Hi:

Use G-parted Live to resize the partition that you want to use as /home.
You'll have to boot the Live CD or you can put G-parted on usb and boot it that way as well.

Click on the old /var and delete the partition.
Than click on the free space that was created when you deleted the old var and make your new /home directory.

i rebuilt my hp cpu and got it up like i wanted. Then I wanted to install virtualizaton and I ran the sudo yum install qemu-kvm and got this error:

WHY AM I GETTING THIS AND HOW CAN I FIX IT?

Hi:

Glad to hear that using G-parted worked!

Looking at this message:
Yum can't find it because it's not available.

Try here:

You need to run this and follow the rest of the tutorial. That should help--
Cheers-

Mate I know it wasn't available. I had to restart my rebuild on my main cpu. I didn't want any long goodbyes. Just
A quick one. Thank you for your help though.

Ztcoracat,

Thanks again for your help. I got my cpu rebuilt and working. Now back to virtualiztion.

I ran the link you gave me and this is what it said:

Why am I getting this message? Can it be fixed?

Your Welcome-

Your getting that message because yum can not find the qumu-kvm and the qemu-img package.

If it's not in the repo than no I don't see a way to fix it.
