Thanks, but I won't be able to do that within the space confines of the partitions available to me on the new machine. They are all smaller than the complete uncompressed /usr directory. To have access to my old box which has plenty of space to do that, I will have to wait until I get back home in a couple of days. I was just looking for a clever way to do it all in the circumstances described. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
