Ok, one thing to do if you are running out of space is partition the new disk and make it your /usr For that you will have to copy the files from existing /usr partition onto a new partition you create, and change the /etc/fstab so that at boot you mount a new disk instead of old one. The old partition can be utilized for something else later. Also, I have about 72MB of free space left on the current disk.

Hmm, you got about 440M total space. Scorpio:/home/ryn# df Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hdb2 198123 95724 92168 51% / /dev/hda1 1029872 960624 69248 93% /windows /dev/hdc1 574626 216321 328621 40% /usr I have about 300M used up, add 90M swap to that, and I am running X, Netscape, gcc, got kernel source installed, etc. So you got enough space with that new disk.
