If there's free space on the HD you can try to resize the /usr partition, else you can try to resize another partition to create free space, beware, do a backup before touching the HD. Other, you can create another partition in another disk, copy the contents of /usr, modify your /etc/fstab to point at the new one and you are basically done. You can save 10~20 Mb if you install "localepurge" package, not enough but better than nothing. Andrea -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
