I have a Sony VAIO psg-505ts running a -CURRENT SNAP from 032799 with a 4.3gig disk entirely devoted to FreeBSD. I now have a need to run Windoze on this laptop, and I do not wish to reload all of the things that I have setup under FreeBSD. My question is, can I shrink my /usr partition down without losing what is on it? It is a 3.8 gig partition that only has 900 meg or so on it. I would like to trim about a gigabyte off of it so that I can install Windoze. Is this going to be possible, or should I start from scratch installing Winoze first? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Regards, Evan Tsoukalas Systems Administrator Source Electronics Corporation evan@sourcee.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
