Partitioning is one of those topics that you can argue round forever
without any danger of reaching agreement about the general case. I'm
not sure what arguments you've read about the "/ + /home" approach, but

Hi,
in the shell-script /usr/bin/artsdsp, there is a variable arch_libdir
that is set to "lib" or "lib64" if the executable is 32- or 64-bit. I think
