I have free space under /usr/local (separate partition). Is it possible to copy /usr/lib and /usr/lib across to /usr/local and then symlink them back on a live system without breaking it?
Er... You should not move files somewhere under /usr to the corresponding somewhere under /usr/local; ie, not to places under "/usr/local" that the systems searchs for programs and files, because those files are probably compiled to be installed under /usr. Maybe I'm confusing you. However, you can move, for instance: /usr/lib mv --> /usr/local/normal_usr/lib and then, symlink "/usr/lib --> /usr/local/normal_usr/lib" Thus, when the system searchs /usr/local/lib it will not find there files intended for /usr/lib - see what I mean? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
