Should I simply use Partition Magic and enlarge it, or maybe > create another partition and mount it on "/usr" or "/etc" or any other > space-consuming partition? Here's what I did. I did tar.gz backups of both / and /home partitions. Copied them to spare space on my Windows partition (one of the few uses for it these days), also backed them up onto cdrw (belt and braces). Then did a re-install of MDK 7.2 (since migrated to 8.2), adjusting partition size - transferring space from /home to / during this procedure. Having completed all that, I restored the backups. All accomplished in about half a day. Experts may know of a shorter route. -- Graham Watkins For me, morning begins when I realize that the soft warm body curled up next to me is a cat.
