My Debian slink used to crash all the X-programs I tried to run, and I couldn't figure why. So I went the Windows-way: reinstall.
I partitioned my HD also in a new way: smaller /dev/hda1 (/ 256Mb), larger /dev/hda2 (/usr ab. 5Gb) and a swap /dev/hda3 (100mb). After installing and apt-getting all the packages, I noticed that I was little short-sighted: /dev/hda1 might run out of space pretty quickly. I wouldn't want to reinstall everything, so I figured that I create /usr/local/home and link it to /home. Is this stupid? If not, can I also do the same thing with /var/spool/mail without breaking important? Is there a better way? -- V.K. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
