Help with fdisk please

[Michael James]

A more luxurious approach, buy a new 20 or 40 Gig disk.

Attach it, partition it generously.

Use rsync or a tar-pipe to copy the existing data into the new partitions.
 (solaris required a ufsdump | ufsrestore to copy / and /usr)

If you are going to leave it mounted on a different chain,
 edit lilo.conf and fstab.

Run lilo to make it bootable.

Try a reboot,
 if it's sweet you have your system tucked into clean linen
 without endangering the original copy.

Once you are sure everything is in place,
 take it down unplug the old disk.

A 6 gig disk will be useful for the next upgrade
 or to try out another distro without loosing your current platform.
