The first question you are going to get asked is, "What have you been adding to the root partition?" Generally speaking, you should not be adding things to the root partition. The ~30 MB that the default setup gives you is about twice what the install of the root directory takes. What is filling up the root directory? You should probably first consider moving those files elsewhere. I just hope this is not because you use root as your usual login and have filled up /root. > I am hoping there is > a way to do this without reinstalling the whole thing all over. Nope. I have heard on -questions many times that it is not. > I don't > think Partition Magic 4.0 will do it. You're definately right there. -- Crist J.
