I hope my terminology is correct, since I'm refering to /etc /usr etc. Now I've installed a squid, KDE, DHCP, Java (not complete yet!), Apache and some other stuff. While installing Qmail, I ran out of disk space on /etc. but /usr still has 17GB free. How can I resize the "labels" so /etc grows to 1GB for example? I've searched all over and it appears that one can grow the size, but not shrink it? What I've really looking for is a tool like partitionmagic for FAT or NTFS. Does such a tool exist and if not what are my options here? Thanks Roland Giesler
