Well, shouldn't / be kept small so that you can boot even with disk errors? > SWAP - Always make a decent swap partition! At least 256MB, but more if > you have a lot of RAM. I always thought this is odd, and to the layman it seems that it should be the other way around... (Like the saying that you have to have money if you want to get rich.) Anyway, if you do not plan to reinstall very soon, using LVM is the trick. Then you can give and take disk space whenever you like to do this. -- Jon Haugsand, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.norges-bank.no -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
