(Of course, like all things, there are pros and cons; so I'm just saying "consider".)
If I were you, I'd just use part of the unpartitioned space to create a new partition for /usr/local, then mount that partition temporarily as something like /tempspace, mv all of /usr/local to /tempspace (not copy, 'cause you want to free that space), unmount both /tempspace and /usr/local, then remount /usr/local where on the newly populated partition. Alternatively, you can just create an "nwn" directory on the unpartitioned space, then create a symlink to it under /usr/local. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
