Josh,
if you check only a few days later I had to rebuild my T40 thinkpad
after PM had succesfully resized /var then /home then /tmp then /usr and
BOMBED on / !!!!!!!! Bastard :(
I am sure you know but beware on HOW you save data to CDs' ... if you
just use a burning program and burn the files/directories on the CDs,
their RIGHTS will most probably CHANGE (mostly becoming R/O) and in some
setting this can be a great nuisance !!!
HTH,
Bob
