Thanks for the reply.

I some more details: I have the following HD config:
sda1 - 100 megs, /boot
sda2 - 1gb, swap
sda3 - 70gb, raid
------
sdb1 - 100 megs, empty
sdb2 - 1gb swap
sbb3 - 70gb raid

Would it be possible to use /boot to hold something?  or perhaps turning off 
the swap and using the two gigs there?  I could probably trim down the OS to 
under 2gb total.
