FWIW my Netserva formulae is... /dev/hda5 / 200Mb /dev/hda6 /usr 1Gb /dev/hda7 /var 4Gb /dev/hda8 /home (the rest) /dev/hda9 swap 200Mb /dev/hda10+ (sizes extracted from /home) If it's for a desktop machine then I swap the /usr /var sizes... if I'm not sure the HDD will be desktop or a server then I make it 3Gb and 3Gb. My webspace is /home/vhosts and I use courier for mail so all mail goes into the user home dir within /home/vhosts (no system-wide mail spool). I also use a pair of removable caddies in nearly every machine regardless of whether it's a desktop or server so I can rely on mounting /dev/hdc5 thru /dev/hdc8 on every HDD I have. /dev/hda9 is always swapspace. --markc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
