The question is how much do you give the operating system :-) Everything else is /home. So far 4GB has been suffient for the OS on my Debian GNU/Linux workstation I'm writing from at the moment. I just checked and I only have 345MB free. But I also noticed I have 1.8GB of files in /var/cache/apt/archives. Time to type "apt-get clean" :-) [It's good having old packages around if things break in Unstable]. In a worse case scenario I would either use a symbolic link and store some of the OS on another partition or I would use some tools to enlarge my ReiserFS boot partition. $ apt-cache search reiserfs ... reiserfsprogs - User-level tools for ReiserFS filesystems ... $ apt-cache show reiserfsprogs ... This package contains utilities to create, check, resize, and debug ReiserFS filesystems. ... Using filename completion I find a program called resize_reiserfs (you'll have to be root for the program to be in your path). "man resize_reiserfs" gives me all the details. Regards, Adam
