Package: installation-reports Sorry; I'd send this somewhere better, but I'm not quite sure which component is actually responsible for this.
On my x86 laptop, debian-installer chose to partition the drive thusly: major minor #blocks name 3 0 39070080 hda 3 1 146632 hda1 (/) 3 2 1 hda2 3 5 4882720 hda5 (/usr) 3 6 2929720 hda6 (/var) 3 7 390568 hda7 (/tmp) 3 8 30219808 hda8 (/home) 3 9 500440 hda9 (swap) The 130-odd MB found on / is insufficient to allow one to have both 2.6.7 and 2.6.8 installed simultaneously, at least with the other packages I have installed. This is a problem as one is required to "know what you are doing" to purge the kernel one is currently running. Another 50MB or so would allow one to have two kernel-images installed. Doubling it to 260MB or so would allow several kernels to be installed simultaneously, as well as allowing for future growth in the population of /bin, /sbin and /etc. -- "Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
