Just a few partitions: I have: / 12G ( 6G free) /home 37G (28G free) /boot 100M (27M free) /opt 17G (11G free) /usr/src 46G (17F free) /mnt/lfs 9G ( 7G free) and a swap partition. Of course most of this could be combined into one or perhaps two partitions, but separating things out is useful for testing multiple builds. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
