That is no problem. I have two boxes running what was originally knoppix, and one of them has five or six partitions. All I did was: - slightly oversized the root partition, so that the initial install would fit, and then, after installation to hd - booted from the CD, - mounted the other partitions (Knoppix even sets up mount points for them), - copied /usr, /var, /home, etc to where I wanted them, - edited /etc/fstab (the hd version not the ramdisk one knoppix was running at that moment), - renamed all the about-to-move directories (eg /mnt/hda/var to /mnt/hda/keepvar) (that was just to have a backup in case of problems) - set up new mount points , and - rebooted. After a week or so, I deleted the backup copies and that was that. If you haven't space for an oversize root partition, you may have to be a bit more ingenious (parted, perhaps).
