Hi, Ray:

Yes, I guess I clicked 'reply' rather than 'reply-all'.
Thanks for relying 'to the list'. :-|

 I checked my last install partitioned as above;
'/' was less than 55 Megabytes and '/usr' was just under 1 gigabyte.

Now "dev/hda1 mounted as /" is 11% used and
    "dev/hda3 mounted as /usr" is 10% used.
I'm comfy for now, but I think all my log files will be filling
up my "/var" something or other under "/". :-|

I'll try to boot this evening.
Ray is probably asleep at this time. ;-)

G'night, G'morning, or G'day, depending on what part of the
world your in. ;-)
