Hi,

I have to install few patches on an Alpha machine with Digital Unix 4.0b,
 but the root partition is too small.
Is it necessary to reconstruct the system disc or I can just move files from
root partition, such as genvmunix or vmunix, to an other partition of the same
 disc and then link it to the root partition.
( for ex.:
1. mv genvmunix to /tmp1
2. ln -s /tmp1/genvmunix /genvmunix
3. reboot)

Any advice in "increasing the root partition" the easiest way.

Regards
