First off, why do you need to do such granular partitioning? Why wouldn't a simple separation of /boot / and /home work for you? Karsten's suggestions are a matter of personal taste, I would suggest that you not impose limitations on yourself before you really know what *your* needs are going to be. (insert quote about premature optimization here) That said, this is how much space is being taken up on my system, I've got sid with gnome2 openoffice, evolution, mozilla, development tools etc 209M var 3.5G usr 2.6M tmp 8.0G home I have three partitions, / (4.9G) /home (9.4G) and /boot(100M). It would probably not be a bad idea to make /tmp a separate partition to avoid apps crashing if/when / gets full, but other than that I have never had a problem with this arrangement. -Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
