I tried genkernel. All I got was a kernel that wouldn't boot. Heck, it barely even started to boot. The kernel wouldn't even finish loading. After several tries, I put genkernel in the trash. It worked a LOT better there for me. It was out of sight and mind. ;-) >> I don't get this one.

This is where I am now: rootfs 19534436 10693048 8841388 55% / Over half full. When I have a critical partition get over 60%, I start looking for expansion. Moving /usr was my plan but someone stole that from me I guess. Now I got to figure out what I want to do next. >> Yes, I also feel sorry for guys like Alan.
