Package: partman-auto Severity: important Tags: d-i On a system with a 80GB hard disk, the chosen size for the root partition when using the multi-user recipe was 150MB.
This system was installed with the "Desktop" tasks and I later tried to add a neweer kernel-package to the existing 2.4.26 kernel-image. THis failed because of full / partition. Removing All gnome stuff partly solved this (/etc/gconf may grow to a huge size....it was 20MB big on my system). However, I suggest to increase the size of the root partition when the disk or available space size allow this. This will allow users with default installs to install more than 1 kernel image..... I tagged this "important" because, in a context of a moderately skilled Debian user, this may appear to be a bad design choice.... -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
