I always set only one partition on the disk and put everything in it whenever it is possible. I know there is chroot jail and one can put a program in it (and copy all shared libraries that it depends) to run. I've also heard (a little) of debootstrap using which one can run a whole Debian operating system in a chroot jail. But I have never had a chance to try those things. :) - -- Cheers, Wei Chen http://www.acplex.com/people/wchen/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGEkmtCIqXQV6BF28RAlsCAKDR84D+5f204bJdAim/YScKVxJEVACeLDl/ zMlxIEFrgVgFPbgvMHQIjHA= =4xvR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
