When I initially installed Mandrake, I allowed the installation procedure to
auto-allocate partitions on the hard drive since I really didn't know what I
was doing (and I still don't to some degree...)
Anyway, I recently ran a df and here were the results...

You can hack it:
# mv /usr /home
# ln -s /home/usr /usr
This will move /usr (the bulk) onto your /home partition, and link it so
that it appears to be in the same place. This, of course, presumes that
/home/usr does not already exist.

I have problems with some Outlook clients which want
to connect to the vpop3 daemon on my Mandrake box.
They get:
"-ERR cannot open mailbox /var/spool/vmail/hostname//username"
from the server.
Is this a known problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks

I have installed a mandrake 7.0-2 as server using standard security ( as proposed by

this linux acts as mail server for three domains.
one domain is configured as the real domain and the users are real accounts.
the other two are configured using linuxconf as vpop users.

First, edit your /usr/src/linux/Makefile and change:
INSTALL_PATH=
to
INSTALL_PATH=/boot
Optional step:
ADD a new image section to lilo so you can boot the old kernel if needed:
Edit /etc/lilo.conf and add a section just like the one label=linux:
image = /boot/vmlinuz.old== change
