Cheers Patrick, that's helpful to know.
There's no decent reason for the small partition sizes - just me not knowing what I'm doing :-/
Hey, if I changed the name from blue, I'd have to give it a paint job. You'll just have to live with it :-P
Cheers, Dave.

everything looks reasonable to me except that / is definitely too small and I generally allocate a lot more space to /tmp. Any reason in particular you're keeping it so small? I also usually have a /boot partition.
btw, my box is named blue also, damned biter! =)

Hi,
I think I need to change my hard drive partitioning on a testing install, and want to make sure I'm not missing something that
would mean I didn't have to. Here's the situation...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a Linux blue 2.4.25-1-386 #2 Wed Apr 14 19:38:08 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 133M 92M 34M 74% / tmpfs 253M 0 253M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda5 4.6G 2.3G 2.2G 52% /usr /dev/hda6 2.8G 2.0G 672M 75% /var /dev/hda7 15M 1.1M 13M 8% /tmp /dev/hda8 105G 2.5G 97G 3% /home
I'm practically out of space on my root partition, which was allocated 133Mb by Debian Installer. (Although I'm not certain it wasn't picking up some older partitioning.) The space is used (approx) by:
blue:/# du -hs /lib /etc /boot /sbin /bin 43M /lib 28M /etc 12M /boot 2.9M /sbin 2.8M /bin
When attempting to install a second kernel, / runs out of space and the install fails.
Does this look within a sensible range for a desktop with Gnome? i.e. my / partition is just too small, and I'll have to change it.
Cheers, Dave.
