(note, that /opt is symlinked to /usr/opt (i don't know the default of debian)). i don't think that it is a good idea to have a separate /tmp partition (if you are not paranoid). my /tmp is a symlink to /var/tmp. as this may cause trouble, if /var cannot be mounted, possibly it would be good to do it the other way round (/var/tmp a symlink to /tmp, /tmp on the / partition) - that would justify the big /. but having highly variable data on / may be a consistency risk in crash-cases ... how much /home you need depends entirely on you ... -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature, please! -- Linux - the last service pack you'll ever need.
