linking a dir

[Gary]

Hello Guys,

It seems that on a remote box FBSD 4.8, my /dev/ad0s1a or / dir is at 73% capacity
already, and this has me somewhat worried.  I attribute this to the /etc
dir inside of the / dir, as it contains many log files, etc... or perhaps
the 2 kernels sitting under /  both kernel and kernel.GENERIC

Question is can I cp /etc to say a /usr/etc and link it (as I have tons of
room under /usr) without any problem.

Thanks for input..
