OK, i tried this once before, and if anyone on this list remembers, my
/var disappeared into oblivion because i symlink the wrong directory and
deleted the wrong one.  So now i am understandably nervous to do it again.
(I used that little incident as an excuse to reinstall from scratch, and
i'm glad i did).  I have 80 megs /, 128 megs swap, and the rest of the 2
gigs for the rest of the FS.  / is 80% full, so im'm thinking maybe i
should try symlinking again.
