Err. Go join the ADC for the freebie membership, the OSX Development set
is download-able from the ADC website once you're a member (just do the
registrations, then back button out when it asks you to buy stuff)

I also have a question about the below,...

(and a remount -> mount -o remount /device/partion)
is `remount' a command?
This should do what you want. Remember to mount your new disk someplace
and chnage the bit "/newdisk/var" to the path of your new disks #Huh? change the bit? where?
/var/partition (eg: if you have one disk and it's going to be all /var,
then mount it at /newvar and replace /newdisk/var with /newvar)
tar cpf /var | (cd /newdisk/var && tar xpf -)
-> i didn't know you could use `tar` like this, COOL,....
thanks again
:-)
