I learned through experience what sizes were best for me. Different people use systems differently and therefore have different space requirements. Running linux on less than 4gb will mean that you are tight on space, and might be able to make better use of your space if you make fewer partitions. The options I see: fine-tune your partitions based on your experience, use fewer partitions, get more disk space (I realize this may not be an available option for you). Is there any free space on your SCSI drive? I tend to be generous, and I have these partition sizes: Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 243700 146332 97368 61% / /dev/sda1 30736 9490 19659 33% /boot /dev/sda5 1000408 32928 967480 4% /tmp /dev/sda6 1999800 957016 1042784 48% /var /dev/sda7 4921656 2257048 2414600 49% /usr /dev/sda8 1968396 1682936 185468 91% /home /dev/sda9 2953164 955640 1847512 35% /usr/src /dev/sda10 1968396 58056 1810348 4% /usr/local /dev/sdb1 2064144 37044 1922192 2% /opt Linus _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
