I am probably getting too picky about repartitioning my drive but I want it to be set up for a long time. I never use all the space in my harddrive even though it is relatively small. (I only use it for work and don't play any games.)
Questions...... My old setup sda1 / 1g sda5 /swap 1024k (512ram) sda6 /usr 6g sda7 /home 10g I will be using Sourcemage which puts sources in /var so I have been thinking about taking 3g out of home and making a /var of 3g. I will probably take another 3 out of home and add it to usr/ but that is probably overkill. Neither use too much. I am confused about where /swap should go. I have a SCSI drive and from what I read that should be on the outside. So should I put /swap at sda8? (Given that I have added /var.) I had a /home because it was convenient to upgrade with CD's when I only had a 56 modem. Now that I am using a source based installation is the /home unnecessary as I am the only user. Is having a /tmp partition necessary? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
