What would be the best sizes for the
disk partitions so that I don't run out of space on any of them while also

While I'd certainly go with a single partition as a solution for your

Hello again Joe,
Maybe it depends on what packages you add when running sysinstall? I
have 6.2 on a 6Gb Fujitsu drive and it fits nicely. I only pick kernel

Now, whenever a partition gets filled up, just do a s
