Before anything, THANKS Aaron for all your support on this list. taylor forrest too.
about this issue.. when I installed linux 7.3 on a 10G partition, I did a /, /home, /usr for a very litle net. I did'nt know how much space would take /, or /usr. when finished install 'custon/everything' df shows / 25%, /usr 36%, as you see there is a misuse of space.. how do I can calculate how much space dedicate to optimize the space left on those partitions.. how should they stay at last.. I mean /tmp don't grow so much on /. I would like / 86% --- Aaron Konstam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribi�: > On Sun, Aug 04, 2002 at 04:23:18AM +0530, > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I have a 4 gb hdd > > > > when i install linux do yu all recommend making > partitions or just put it > > all under / and swap ? > > how many partitions would you all recommend I make > ? > > what size ? > > why ? > > ....................... > Well you picked the question to start the religious > wars.
