the Win95 disk, so now I have another 250 Mb partition for Linux, in a different disk. But, how could I make this new partition really increase the little free space I have in the partition where I first installed everything? Could I move the contents of, let's say, /usr of the old partition into my new one and then mount it over /usr? Could YaST help in this? Any suggestions?

i do this: mount new filesystem on /mnt/tmp cd /usr && find . -print0 | cpio -p0vumd /mnt/tmp then, reboot from a floppy and do cd / mv usr usr.old mkdir /usr chown root.root /usr chmod 755 usr try a test mount of the new partition, and if it works, edit your /etc/fstab to reflect the new mount point.
