I'm using ext4 for my file system. Could the file system make a difference if you use something else? Your root and /home is getting a little full. o_O I didn't put anything OS related on LVM this time. With a 1TB stick, I figured I could make everything big enough that I shouldn't ever run out of space. I'd be more likely to either wear out the stick and have to replace it or this rig will become outdated and be replaced. I even made /boot large. I could put Knoppix on there if I wanted. Speaking of, I have /usr on the same partition as / this time around. Do I need a init thingy still or can I ditch that thing? I do have /var on a separate partition, if that matters. Dale :-) :-) P. S. I just ran the update command for your checksum script. Another torrent finished and I added a video file.
