Just yesterday I installed the source distribution (I had the binary one already) and now my HD is 96% full. sigh. I have two IDE hard drives, one for DOS/Windows, and the other for FreeBSD and X-Windows. Is it as simple as buying a SCSI controller card and a SCSI hard drive now? Would that work? Would I be able to move /usr to the SCSI hard drive, for example, and still use the IDE drive? Or would I have to remove the IDE controller & HD's to accomodate the SCSI ones? I don't think think so, but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for a big hard driver and then not get it to work... I just want to make sure. Could someone please give me some information on this, I would really appreciate it. - Markus P.S.: Yes, that's right.. it's ME again, with another ignorant question. sigh. I'll learn someday, I WILL! :) I must say that responses have been great to my questions so far! A big thanks to everyone who helped me so far.
