allocating space

[Eric Hagen]

Rodney,

The easiest answer would be to move some of the larger directories still
under / to your /home directory and then create a symbolic link to them.

IE:
cd /
mv -R /usr /home
ln -s /home/usr /usr

There is a problem though in this.
/etc, /var, /boot, /lib, /bin, /proc, "may" be needed at the
initial boot, or best left alone. /usr and /opt are the best to keep
seperate. It all depends on what you are starting prior to mounting all
file systems.

Hope this helps.
