resize/create new partitons on Solaris 10/i386

Hello:

I basically did a default install of the January release/build of Solaris 10 and now have the following partition table (I couldn't modify the default settings during install):

Info from prtvtoc:

-bash-3.00# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1d0s0

* /dev/rdsk/c1d0s0 partition map

*

* Dimensions:

*512 bytes/sector

*63 sectors/track

*32 tracks/cylinder

*2016 sectors/cylinder

*39827 cylinders

*39825 accessible cylinders

*

* Flags:

*1: unmountable

* 10: read-only

*

I would like to resize the /export/home partition since I don't need that much space (home user desktop) and create a new partition for system use. From this forum, I appently need to use the format command, but I'm not sure which route to go (fdisk, modify, ?).

Thanks in advance.

How much disk space is used under /export/home? Can you also post 'df -k 'output?
