That was painless, went through without a problem.. The new hd's going to
be mounted as /cache for the proxy's I'll be setting up...

/usr
/var

my swap space is on a dedicated drive (a small 52mb hd) all by it's lonesome....

The new addiotion of hd, is going to be a cache drive for proxy stuff. What
