if webmin is working correctly, then you should rm the backup copy from
/home.  No sense in using up space.

Copied cp -a webmin to /home/  ran fdisk - l /dev/hdb created primary partition using blocks 1 to 512 whole drive, reformatted the drive mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb, wrote partition mounted drive and cp -a /webmin/ to drive2 restart service and it worked. What a great learning experience thanks for the hlp!

Can I create an extended partition (ext3) using the rest of the hdd without losing my webmin? Webmin gives me the option to do it. I just dont want to mess things up.. Thanks!
