Hello
I've merrily setup my new system with partitions /, /boot, /tmp. /var,
/usr, /usr/local, and /home.
Then I loaded Lots Of Useful Stuff.
This was the wrong approach because I wanted to use reiserfs. I've copied
most of the partition contents to / through a /tmpsomething directory and
umounted the partitions; all in runlevel 1.
Edited fstab so they aren't going to reappear just yet.
/usr is problematic because it's contents are much bigger than the /
partition. I'll fall of that bridge when I get to it.
Before I proceed, am I right in assuming I could not make /boot a reiserfs
(I'm using lilo) and / is only 200MB so it'll fsck pretty fast and
therefore not to bother ?
ps Are these the wrong questions ? :-)
All the best
Harry
