All seems ready to move forward with my 2 NIC'd firewall /gateway ( = currently using Winproxy on NT 4 ) BSDBOX, but then I noticed that there's only 11% avail from my 50 mb = root partition. /Usr is derived from /root, right? Can I and is it possible to break /usr out from root and / or expand = root while maintaining the new system I have painstakingly set up? thanks, J.
