Here is something I find quite peculiar.

'remotebox' is RH9 (Shrike)
'localbox' is Debian 3.1

The stuff you tell me gives me a good Idea of what to do, I still need to

There are "nondestructive" repartitioning tools. All
To resize your root partition with parted, there is a boot disk
available at the parted site here:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/gnu/parted/
You need a boot disk for this since the partition being resized can't be
mounted.
