I want to move my home directory onto a different partition, but I need to know if this is a safe way of doing it. Can I just move the directory to the other partition and make a symlink back to where OS X would expect the directory to be? For instance, I would just make /Users/dave point to...

Is there a definitive list of files/folders that you should and should NOT copy when you move to a new iMac? What is the best way to do the copying?

So, I know that in Classic iTunes you have the option of having tunes stored in your iTunes Library deleted not only from the Library and playlist BUT ALSO the harddrive itself -- i.e., iTunes will place the undesireable file in the Circular File (a/k/a Trash). However, I am doing an overhaul...

Right now I use a 20 gig FireWire harddrive for backing up apps and files and songs. It doesn't get used much, unless I am reinstalling my iBook. I usually transfer over my 3+ gigs of MP3s and it works nicely ... copying them all in just a minute or two. What I would really like is an iPod...
