- How, exactly, do you reducing the size of /usr? The normal method of
- shrinking a filesystem is to copy it to tape, remove it, re-create it at
- the new size and move the files back. But /usr has libc.a and if you
- remove that, the machine staggers around a little and then dies. Anybody
- have any ideas? (THAT'S the last time I do a full installation of Info
- Explorer...)
