Hi, as said before there is NO perfect partiotion sheme for everybody. If you want to be on the save side make /boot about 50 mb, swap 256 mb, 512 mb or even higher (depends completely on YOUR ram and software setup) and rest /root. In general: if you want to have more partitions you have to read docs to check which makes sense for YOU AND EXPERIMENT. It took me quite some installs to find out how much to allocate for partitions like /, /usr, /var and so on. Generaly it is advisable to put as many partitions as possible for easier administration and better performance. There is a doc. It's called something like "how to secure and optimize a linux redhat server". You'll find it somewhere on www.linuxdoc.org or search on google. It gives some pointers and facts regarding partitoning.

You have to go to console F5 and watch the check all the time - as you sometimes can't even scroll back up again to review the check again if you had several partitions. This is really, really shitty. They have to find a way to print out an error messages on F1 and ask the user to interact! As you said the partitoning job is really done bad. regards, Tom(my)___ > > Ken Barber > > On Tuesday 23 July 2002 04:46 pm, Stephen Liu wrote: > > Hi Sandro, > > > > Yes. You are correct.
