      Hi Uli et al,
         After some fiddling, I see that it isn't the LVs I need to increase,
    but the JFS sizes. Thanks for all the comments.. I've put these in to
    effect and see that /usr does indeed fill up fast but have left plenty of
    disk space slack. I began installing packages and am building up to get a
    GNU suite on to compile apps myself.
                                  Thanks for all the suggestions!
                                                   Kevin
