Moving the SQL 2005 System Tables

2 Questions Actually!
1. I know how to move all the system DB's in 2000, but I am a bit confused
as to how to accomplish this in 2005.
I need to move:
Master
Model
MSDB
I've already moved Temp.
2. Now, there is this other DB, called the resource DB, which they tell you
not to rename or move. The confusing part is that at install, I did not
have an option to specify where I wanted my log files to go, only my DB
files. Did I miss something?> 1. I know how to move all the system DB's in 2000, but I am a bit confused

The steps for moving all the system databases are in Books Online (December
2005 version) in a topic titled 'Moving System Databases'. It sounds like
you don't have the December version. You can download it from here:

There are specific steps for moving the Resource database in the Books
Online topic mentioned above,. Note that the Resource database must be
moved to the same location as the master.mdf file. This is discussed in the
topic.
