[vox-tech] size of /var
For those of you with Debian based systems with /var on its own partition, how much space did you allocate for /var? On my system, I'm starting to feel cramped: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hdb2581M 416M 135M 76% /var I would've sworn that 581MB was big enough, but apparently not. The largest directories in /var (everything else is small change): satan# du -hs * 49M cache 209Mlib In cache (everything else is small): 18M auto-apt 15M apt 9.6Mdebconf 4.8Mlocate 1.5Mman 539Kfontconfig 371Kapt-listbugs And in lib (everything else is small): 46M dpkg 45M apt 39M texmf 24M mysql 20M gconf 13M cyrus It's weird that the directory contents add up to what they do. Guess that's the power of a preponderance of small numbers... Pete -- How VBA rounds a number depends on the number's internal representation. You cannot always predict how it will round when the rounding digit is 5.

[vox-tech] grub2
I just noticed grub2. It looks impressive to say the least. Is anyone using it yet? Anyone know if it's ready to be used? I noticed a Debian package, so I was just wondering... ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
Re: [vox-tech] new gaming computer
for some hints on maintaining a working nvidia binary driver (kernel and X.org) I have put some of my notes here: http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/299 of particular interest is the source article here: http://home.comcast.net/%7Eandrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html Note that this is for a debian system, might work on debian-derivatives... ?
