Hi Debian-folks Finally got Debian running on my old 486/100, using a WDC 2540 hd (540 Mb), at hda (hda1). /home is on an old Seagate 213 Mb (hdc). Running out of space, I've installed another WDC 2540 on hdd (hdb is the cd-rom). After figuring out the way around the 1024 cyl-limit (thanks to the Large-Disk-Howto), I've partitioned hdd with a linux-primary partition. Now i have two questions:
Why does Linux only report 515 Mb, when the drive is supposedly 540 Mb? (linux using 524/32/63, drive physically 1048/16/63) Wanting to move /usr to the new hd, how would I go about it? I suppose I have to format(initialize?) and mount the drive, and then copy /usr with everything "beneath" it to the new hd? (Which is basically what I would have done back in the DOS-days...) I've looked at the man-pages for cp, but can't quite make out how to make it copy everything under /usr. The list-archives doesn't really give me much of a clue, either, though I suppose it must be a fairly common problem. Thanks for your patience with a *nix-newbie. I'm trying to learn, and I'll happily read any FM. Best Regards Vitux
