what I do .. 1) install the new disk, partition & format it as you like 2) mount the disk somewhere on the root filesystem(I use /usr.new) 3) go to single user mode ('init 1') 4) cd /usr ; cp -a * /usr.new/ ; cd / ; mv usr usr.old 5) edit /etc/fstab and add the new filesystem 6) go back to runlevel 2 (logout, or 'init 2' or whatever runlevel you use) 7) run the system for a few days and make sure everything is good, once this is done erase /usr.old if you want. I've done this procedure dozens of time and have never had a problem. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
