Section 4.2 in the Installation-HOWTO has a section on what to consider. Also, see the mini-HOWTO Multiply-Disk-Layout. The following message is dated but gives actual sizes. According to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kai Petzke) 29 Jun 94 10:52:23 GMT: > My proposol: > - Create a small root partition (approx 30 MB) > - Swap partition > - /usr partition (read only, approx 300 MB) > - /var partition (size between 20 MB and 1000 MB, depending > on how much news and mail you run). > - /home partition (the rest) Of course it depends on how the system will be used. An ISP with news and mail will be much different than a stand-alone, single-user system. It would be helpful if the 1.1 Beta testers would report the results of du for their systems and include a description on its utilization. -- ====================================================== Carl Greco PHONE voice: (402) 496-3381 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================
