Hi, When I installed hamm some time ago, I had the following problem: apparently, dselect downloads everything before installing. Having only one partition, and not too big (400Mb), at some point, it ran out of space, and I just couldn't do anything anymore. Luckily, I had some free space on the old DOS partition, which I reduced and added a new partition, and I forced dselect to download its stuff on there. It worked!
I just decided to re-install a whole new slink from scratch, and since I am doing that, I might as well re-partition the HD. Now, I have about 600Mb total, and I would like to keep it all in one big partition (just because it's kinda more flexible.. I don't know how much space users are gonna need and stuff...), but I'm afraid the same problem might happen. Does anybody know if the new installer is being more clever about this, and if not, what is the right strategy. Am I being crazy or immoral wanting only one partition? most Faqs and docs I read about it say you should always make a few partitions. Is there a tool for unix fs which allows to re-partition without destroying everything (reducing a big one safely)? Thanks a lot, Stefan.
