This was what I was looking for, but I messed things up and ended up
doing a reinstall. Except for the web-pages there wasn't much to lose
anyway. After reinstall I have a lot of room in my /var/www partition
and after some tinkering I'm able to ftp up my webpages, and they
show up, at least on my local net. Next task is to bring them on to
the Internet, but that only involves an change to the forwarding of
ports on my router so it should be no sweat.

Yes, that is what I did. Had read about it, but completely forgot when
trying to apply my newly aquired knowledge.

Thank you for the assistance. It is always nice to get a nudge in the
right direction.
