I am trying to install the unstable distribution set on a machine that
ran Debian happily for years. The only change has been the addition of
a larger disk (8Gig).
It's been a long time since I installed debian, thanks to it's excelent
upgrade abailty, but I need to install from scratch this time.
I initally set up the disk with 3 partitions:
/ (500M)
75M swap
/usr remainder
However I ran inot problems with filling up the / partition while using
dselect to install a large number of packages. So I went back and
repartioned such that the first partion was 1023M. LILO did not like
this :-(
So I decided to repartiton it like this.
/boot (100M)
75M swap
/ remainder
I was able to get the install menu system to think that was OK, and
install the boot blocks. Unfortunately. when I rebooted, I just goot a
3FA: for a prompt. Not good.
How can I best partiton this drive, so that I have enough spce for the
/ partition?
Is it likely t be /vat thats filling up?
Thanks.
