I am not doing that. I called Sun and they were most unhelpful: the tech
did not know that /bin is really linked to /usr/bin. 

I just started going through filesystems figuring out which was mounted
as root and what was not and then finding unneeded files and deleting
them. I freed up 30% of the disk, which is not bad. I should probably
also check the partition table to see if they left any unallocated
space...

Thanks for all the help!
