The easiest thing to do is probably to move all of /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 onto your new drive. Then create symlinks in /usr to point to them. # cd /usr # mv local /usr2 # ln -s /usr2/local local and the same for /usr/X11R6. The mv will run for a while. You might consider taking a backup before you do this. You probably don't want to be running X or a shell that you've installed in /usr/local/bin while you're moving them (ie. go to single user first). -- Kevin Street street@iname.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
