I have freebsd 2.2.1 on an old 386 w/ 85m harddrive. Everything works 
but I am running out of space. The drive looks like this:
/	19487 blocks 13201 used
/usr	43087 blocks 39622 used
/var	4118  blocks   644 used
I also have 16m for swap ( my system has 8megs ram)
Can I re-partition the drive by using /stand/sysinstall without using data?
If so , can I cut /root to 15m & cut /var to 2m? Also would it be ok to 
cut the swap space? (how much?) BTW, in my ist question, i mean w/o losing
data.

Thanks,
