Hi all,

can someone get me out of this cage,

trying to make /usr/tmp and /usr/var and remove /tmp and /var then link to 
/usr/tmp and /usr/var

can create /usr/tmp and /usr/var ok and move /var contents to /usr/var ok

trying to rm -rf /tmp or /var gets 'device busy'

tried single user mode,

get 'file system read only'

tried /mount -u /

can then remove /var and /tmp and ln -s to /usr/var and /usr/tmp

but then cant get out of this mode.

I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this but cant find it in doc's or 
faq's

thanks for any help.




Walt
