Traditionally we try to install as many rpms as possible. In 10.0 this resulted in approx. 16 GB the in root filesystem, only from SUSE 10.0 rpms. So using a maximum of 20 GB or perhaps better 30 GB for the calculation might be better. But I am not aware of side effects, i.e. I don't know the algorithm. E.g. when you have a Laptop and 30 GB free space, you usually do not want everything in /. But an additional filesystem for stuff that doesn't change with SUSE versions, e.g. MP3s, Videos, that do not belong into /home. -- Andreas Vetter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
