Help move /usr to another partition





I originally installed all of the system on one partitition :-(

I freed a partition and would like to have /usr on this partitition.
If it wasn't a system directory I would mount the new partition (eg: /new)
as a filesystem, move all files to /new/usr, delete the original and create a
symbolic link to the new filesystem eg: ln -s /new/usr /usr.
This won't work ??, because in the stage between deleting and creating a link
I have no /usr, and this it seems will break the system.

This is probably a trivial question but I have read all the relevant docs
I could find and still don't know how to do it.

Please help.

Thanks,

Arnold
