Mom always told me there was no such thing as a stupid question so here
goes.

When i first installed FreeBSD 4.1 i was just playing around with it and
used the defaults in the installed.. defaults partitions and such...  one
thing led to another now i pretty much rely on this machine for all of my
home connections/communications..  everything.  Problem is my root / is near
80% full.  This is on a 20 gig HDD and i think the default / was set to like
50 megs.

Question : is there any way short of reinstalling fbsd or buying a second
HDD to increase/repartition my / ?

I have done some research on the matter and have only found  a couple of
articles both involving  a second hdd.  Am i screwed or what?  I guess i can
clean out some temp files and such but  that is really a temporary solution.

thanks guys.
