Make some things symlinks, like /tmp -> /usr/tmp for example. 2. Delete old files. e.g., old kernels, and if you're on a 3.0 onwards system, LKMs can go from /lkm since they're no longer used if you've got an ELF kernel. There probably isn't a huge amount of stuff you can do other than that, but you shouldn't really need to write loads of stuff to / anyway. (Except /tmp, which can be a symlink.) -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
