I find that if space is available, a separate partition for /var is often a good idea; this provides insurance against a suddenly-expanding log file filling up the root partition, and causing the associated problems. With /var separate, at least it will still boot, which makes the problem (that led to the log file exploding in size) that much easier to fix. :) -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 The engineer is neither optimist nor pessimist.
