I did manage to build KDE4 on a 5GB partition, while having the sources (build) directory hosted on a separate partition. I typically think about 12GB for the root partition with no separate partitions for home or usr leaves enough space for me. It depends on how much space will be needed for applications and files that will accumulate. For /boot, I just use a /boot directory instead of a separate partition (which is my choice) and it works fine. I like to create a logical partition in which 15 partitions may exist. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
