As another poster said, adding another disk, then `rsync`ing /home over to the new disk is a great way to add room to a system. I weekly rsync every /home on my network to an old PII machine as a painless easy backup.
vi has two modes, a command mode and an insert mode (text mode). The command `i` begins text mode, and `[esc]` ends text mode. See:
"i" begins insert mode (before the cursor, a is after the cursor), that is what the "i" stands for - insert. O'Reilly has a number of pocket reference books (vi is one of them) that are very reasonable in price. Excellent reference in times such as this one. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
