Hmm, slice/partition naming problems.

A slice is what MS calles a partition
A partition is what you've called a slice

But this always confuses me so don't worry about it.

Indeed, deleting  /usr/src is not going to break a thing.

Not that I'm aware of.

But you can select UPGRADE from the main memu of sysinstall.  If you've 
got a nice fat pipe grab a copy of the floppies and "install" from the net.
