I always found that the real reason for a /boot of a few megs is that
you can mount it read-only and thus protect it from fs crashes. If you
install a new kernel, simply remount -oro /boot.
Anyway, here's my scheme:
mmutz@adam:~ > df
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sdb1 49109 27739 18749 60% /
/dev/md1 3096096 2502724 278704 90% /usr
/dev/md2 1040224 622248 365536 63% /opt
/dev/md3 516032 103224 334168 24% /var
/dev/md4 1548048 841852 391548 68% /tmp
/dev/md5 3813256 2928772 693048 81% /home
The big /opt is because I am runnig SuSE and they put KDE and Gnome and
netscape and .. there. Red Hat/ Mandrake don't. So you need not have a
separate /opt for those.
