Well, I ran out with it at 350 Mb and that was recommended in a book I have on the
topic
of partition sizes. Matter of fact, most of the other partitions were either empty or
close to it. Somewhere it's putting everything in / I do believe. Either way, I won't
run out for a while now.
Recommendation was to check the log files for their sizes. Too late since I've already
repartitioned and installed. but I noted the current size and will check the log files
soon to see what they're up to. Maybe they grew realy big?
It's all on my "throw away" box now anyway. If I destroy it I just rebuild it and
start
over. It's my learning tool and I don't have to mess with other OS's on it. (I don't
throw old parts away.)
I made the following this time:
/ = 1.2 Gb
/usr = 400 Mb
/home and swap files on the rest of the drive space available.
Drives include hda = 1.2 Gb
hdb = 400 Mb
hdc = 212 Mb
Should be enough there to do something with.
