Well, I never opened my Pismo but I'd think that there is only one IDE
connector... Anyone have experience with that?

I know, I know. I've read the flame wars that have been going on. The real
problem was that SuSE was pushing for Reiser (they employed Hans Reiser for
making his FS a journalling FS). I agree it should not be in the kernel right
now.

I already have /usr as a separate partition. But how do you teach apt to
remount it read-write and then read-only again?
Why make / 64 MB big when making /tmp and /var as a separate partition? Both
could find place on that partition...
