You can probably shrink / and /usr using resize_reiserfs (on Debian, this is part of the resierfsprogs package; I'm not sure about other distributions. After that, use fdisk or cfdisk to shrink hdc3 and hda4 (there are brief instructions in the resize_reiserfs manpage). Ideally, you would want to tack this space onto hdc2, but I can't see any way of doing that, so the best thing is probably to make another partition or two in the space, copy a load of files from /usr/local into that, and then mount on e.g. /usr/local/bin.
Resizing the root filesystem is likely to cause problems; you may need to use a boot disk. There should be one included with your distribution. DISCLAIMER: I have made no attempt at all to test this, and if it goes wrong, your / and /usr will be trashed beyond hope of recovery. Take full and careful backups. Steven Smith, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
