resizing partitions
Unfortunately, no. A resizing ends up reallocating space and wiping out what was there previously.
You could move stuff from /root to /u but that can require multiple steps and may corrupt applications if you touch the wrong files.
You can probably find files that can be deleted, but before you even try that make sure you have emergency boot disks to allow you into the system to undo anything bad. And rather than delete at first I would make a copy on the other filesystem so it can be recovered if needed.

While in SCO Openserver 5.0.7, Sybase listened to /dev/inet/tcp, the same is not working in SCO Openserver 6. The Network card is however active and pinging fine. What can be the reason? What is the way out?
An early response will be appreciated.
Thank you
