Reducing A/UX partition .. can it be done?

hello folks!

	I have two questions. The first one, I have been trying to get
help from the A/UX vendor, but I still do not have the answer. So I am
posting it to the network, hoping some one would know.

	I have a MAC IIcx running 1.1 version of A/UX. It has a 80 Meg
drive, most of it - as some of you will know - is taken by the A/UX
partition.  I have only 2 meg of MAC/OS partition - making it almost
impractical to use any MAC application under MAC/OS. Then I had a
brainstorm !! I found out that the /usr directory uses about 30 Meg of
disk space, and most of it contents (except files in /usr/admin and
few others directories) are not used at the boot time. Except for the
above noted directories, I moved the rest of the files in /usr
directory to an NFS server (in my case a CYBER 850 mainframe), which I
remotely mount at boot time. Things seem to work fine and I have been
using this for over a month without any trouble. Even though, system
throughput is decreased, the overall performance is quite good.

	By moving /usr directory to a remote server, I have an extra
30 Meg in my A/UX partition and I would like to repartition my hard
disk to allow more disk space under MAC/OS partition. My MAC IIcx came
with A/UX installed on its hard drive. I have backed up A/UX on to a
tape, but I do not know how to install A/UX back if I repartition my
drive.  Is there any way to load entire A/UX from the SASH (stand
alone shell window) ? I have not been able to convince myself that it
can be done from the SASH window. Can it be done? Is there any extra
software I need for this? I would appreciate if any netters can
enlighten me with their suggestions.

	As for my second question, does any one know the price for
X-window software under A/UX 1.1?

	Thanks in advance.
