OK, don't get TOO swelled a head now ... <g>


And now I have /var, /usr and /home, all on their own partitions. I'll
give it a few days, then delete the backups of those directories that I
still have, on my root partition.

I'll check it out. Actually, my main workstation is RedHat 6.2. When I
finally get around to it, I may switch it over to Debian. It's just that
I don't want to have to go thru the whole re-install (and restore of
data files from backup).
