Thanks for your reply. I am curious with your Valinux machines, it's set
up with /, /boot and /home on the first drive. The root partition is
already 89% full. Are all the directories such as /var/ and /usr on there?
How does that leave room if I want to load alot more appplications on my
drive in those directories? I will quickly run out of room. Should I move
such directories as /var into my /home partition and create a symbolic
link? I am trying to figure out how to best organize my machine. I really
love this computer, just can't quite figure out the logic in how they
partitioned it (workstation version).
Also, re: your reply before, in the startup, when it says apmd[286]
Charge: *** (-1% unknown), what does (-1% unknown refer to? What does that
message mean? Do you know?
Thanks for your comments.
