It is a good idea. Good candidates are /usr/local /usr/ports /usr/src and /usr/share tar up those directories and put them in your infinitely expandable disk/partition and make sym links. We do that on all of our systems. Name the directories in the big partition something that makes it obvious where they came from. Example, we move /usr/local to /home and call it usr.local (eg /home/usr.local and the link command, done from within /usr is: ln -s /home/usr.local local It works fine. ////jerry > > thanks, > > Kirk > -- > Kirk R.
