You have only those two files in root? What about the kernal files I
see on my system? 
Anyway, I have taken this opportunity to do a complete upgrade - new
server, updated OS, Aps, everything. Moving from an AMD Athlon 600 to a
AMD 2600+ with a 400mHz FSB MB, and a 120gig HD, giving LOTS of room to
root and swap partitions. This time I will set the symlinks on /var and
/tmp to /usr/var and /usr/tmp first thing after the OS installs.
This should make for a very nice web server.
Regards,
Chip
