[TriLUG] /usr at 92%, now what

[Stephen P. Schaefer]

If you can afford the time, learning LVM is the way to go.

I don't know how much you customize ks.cfg, but I've got a modest bit of 
scripting in the %post section, and *none* of it is included in the 
generated anaconda-ks.cfg.  I'm OK with that, the original ks.cfg is 
under CVS, so I can look at the date on an anaconda-ks.cfg and find the 
original.  Just remember, the anaconda-ks.cfg is a non-omniscient 
reconstruction of your configuration.
