=======================================
Hi Victor,
I'm obviously NOT Denis, but I hope you don't mind my putting my US$.02 in.
I too may be able to learn something from Denis's response.
I notice that you haven't created an /opt partion, meaning that /opt will be
on the / partition. Since third party software usually goes into /opt, might
not the / partition fillup quickly if indeed you do install some office suites
(applixware will take up almost 200mb itself) and other major applications?
Just a thought. sorry for the intrusion :o)
Mike
