Sorry if this has been covered before, but I can not get my head round it!

I've got:
ibook G4
OS X 10.5.5
768 mb

I have zero room left on my start up disc, so my Mac keeps telling me, due I think to vast amounts of music and Mp4 videos in itunes that i then dump into my iphone.

Please could someone tell me the idiots, step by step, your as thick as a plank, way of shifting my i tunes onto a external hard drive.

No matter which post i look at i cant route it correctly.

I have a western digital usb 250 gb, ext drive ready to go.

many thanks for your time, please take it easy on me.

Its really quite simple, you just need to change the location of the library in preferences, then consolidate your library to move all the files and relink them
