Maybe in /boot. But if you have the same partition on / as on /boot, and many do, then don't forget what needs to go in /lib, particularly /lib/modules, where the kernel modules go. I have three choices for kernels on my lenny system, and I've kicked out two kernels and their associated modules simply because I didn't have enough space on /. I did a du -c on /lib - 170 megs, roughly. So 268 megs would be a tight fit for a root partition, imho, even if it had a separate /usr. Don't forget /sbin and /etc, usually those are part of the root fs and not separated out. /sbin is pretty small - a tad less than 4 megs here on lenny, and /etc; is about 15 megs. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
