how to copy a partition to a directory, then mount it
i've been getting into problems trying to move around my partitions, by copying them to a directory on a partitions with alot of extra space, then mounting then with --bind. i think it's todo with the permissions, like i can run gdm for the gui but i can't login. startx doesn't work though, gives me some errors but i don't know alot about x windows. but like the partitions are mounted, but just the system doesn't work properly with them this way?
