[opensuse] Moving /home to root partition

Hi,

I have the /home on its own partition, but I need to move it to the root
partition without losing data, which is the safest way to do that? My
root partition is about 20G and the /home partition is about 8G and less
than 1G is used because I store my data in a different partition.

openSUSE 10.2

Thanks,
