Yes, no argument there, the question wasn't about total space or multi-booting, but whether multiple partitions within a single Linux filesystem were advisable, and if so, which directories and how big. My contention was that it was vital on a server (and I normally have a spare one-partition installation of the same OS version on a server, as well as several partitions within the main OS) but of limited use on a workstation, and not worth the inevitable wrong guesses about future needs. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
