Partitions are always a stumbling block. I have been tempted just to do a
/, /boot, /swap/ and not have to worry about it. But the rule is it's not
good for security.
I opted for the Mandrake to suggestion partitions in setup of my 20 gig more
then enough to handle anything. That gave me a /, /boot. /swap. /home.
The default / directory was 1.5 gigs, since that was the suggestion I left it
as it was. I did split up the /home directory that was huge with 14 gigs and
added /usr, /opt and /iso. Now I figured I would be all set with no problem
to add what ever came along.
A few weeks later I check my drive space and I have only 400 megs left in my /
directory. Now I have only added a network install of Office5.1 that should of
been the only program that would effect / directory as far as space. Now my
concern is I plan in a few months to network two other computers on a home
network. It seems that I might be getting tight here in this directory on
future networking hopes with only 400 megs left? I assume most of the
networking programs are already installed? I think any future programs
installed across a network would be in the / directory so I have questions on
how I stand here.
