Well, you have /home on a separate partition (I guess that's where most of your stuff will end up), /usr on a partition (where most of your programs will be installed) and /var is a partition also (various stuff is there, apt's cache can grow big if you don't clean it). So there's not much left for / -- the stuff in /boot (your kernels) and the /root directory, and /etc and so on. I think you should be fine. > Brgds > Dino Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
