I'd personally use 2 gb for /usr and 1 gb for /root, if I were partitioning
up in this way....
I'd expect /usr to need more disk-space than /root, after all, /root is
just a userid like any other, but with magical powers! :)

Subject: [newbie] /usr or /root?
Having allocated disk space for the /home slice, I have about three
GBs
left on the disk on which I aim to install Mandrake. Should I allocate a 2
GB partition for the /root slice and a 1 GB partition for the /usr slice,
or
should I allocate a 1 GB partition for the /root slice and a 2 GB partition
for the /usr slice? What do you think? How much space do the /usr and the
/root file systems occupy by default? I aim to install some additional
software -- VMware, SO, and some other applications. I assume these will
end up in /usr, so I should probably reserve space for them. I am
grateful
for all help.

PS. The other week somebody posted a link to a page with advice on how to
get connected to the Internet using Linux. I stupidly clicked on "delete"
before I realized that I could really use that kind of information. If
somebody could please repost that link I would be very grateful.
