Ooops, and you did say it there plain and simple. OK ... how about copying everything (as root) from /usr into /holding: cp -av /usr/* /holding/ Make sure it looks like everything copied OK. Then you should be able to boot into console mode as root, rename /usr to something else, and mount /dev/hde10 as /usr. Then try to run something that is in /usr and if OK, change /etc/fstab to mount /dev/hde10 as /usr, and you can delete everything in the directory that WAS /usr in hde7. I would do this instead by booting into Knoppix ... I find more and more uses for it every day. From Knoppix it would be less tricky because you would not be running the risk of using something in /usr, but the former method SHOULD work because /usr is supposed to be mountable read only anyway.
