Can I delete /usr/lib/sw/hpux.install/*?
I'm really short on space for /usr 99%. I found these files in /usr/lib/sw/hpux.install:
700INSTALL
700INSTALLFS
config
config.local
uxinstlf.hppa
Is it safe to delete these, or at least move them to where I have more space? Thank you for your assistance.

Re: Can I delete /usr/lib/sw/hpux.install/*?
The least evil approach would be to copy everything under /usr/lib/sw to another filesystem and then remove /usr/lib/sw and create a symbolic link.
e.g.
mkdir /xxx/sw
chmod 555 /xxx/sw
chown bin:bin /xxx/sw
cd /usr/lib/sw
find . -print | cpio -pudvm /xxx/sw
cd /usr/lib
rm -r sw
ln -s /xxx/sw sw
e.g.
mkdir /xxx/sw
chmod 555 /xxx/sw
chown bin:bin /xxx/sw
cd /usr/lib/sw
find . -print | cpio -pudvm /xxx/sw
cd /usr/lib
rm -r sw
ln -s /xxx/sw sw
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
