If I install Debian on a single partition, what is the worst that can happen, in the following two cases (the two most cited justifications for having multiple partitions):
1: A runaway root process fills up the disk.
(Will I not be able to get in as root and
kill the offending process?)
2: The filesystem becomes damaged.
(Will I not be able run from a rescue floppy
and repair the damage from there?)
Cheers.
