You don't even have to reboot. Change to single user mode, unmount
/dev/hda5 and /dev/hda2, remount them where you want them, and edit
/etc/fstab. Then you can do any other coppying you and deleting you have
to do. and change back to your normal run level. That way you don't have
to worry about anything changing on /home, or needing to access /usr while
making changes. (The mount, umount, vi, mv and cp are in /bin.)
