And if you do this, I would consider using Logical Volume Manager (LVM) instead of raw hard drive partitions. This will allow you to resize partitions if you need to. > If you do decide to; > create a / partition of about 10gb (minimum) > a swap partition (if you want one) > & the rest either as one partition for /home, > or multiple partitions ( /home, /data, /movies, etc) When I lay out a system, I generally do the following (this is based on my workstation with a 750GB hard drive, you can mix and match to taste): 250MB /boot (on a hard drive partition if I encrypt the hard drive -- good for about 8-10 kernels) 1*RAM swap Remainder of the drive as LVM. Within the LVM, I build a 1GB / 10-15GB /usr 3GB /usr/local 20GB /home (which I have had to grow to 40GB in lieu of cleaning it up :) ) 5GB /var 60GB /data and I still have 533GB in reserve. Obviously, the sizes can be adjusted. --b -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
