Aaron, Think again, what Carlos said. Blindly applied disk layout schema can bring more trouble than benefit. Take example of separate /tmp directory. If it is undersized it will be problem much bigger that fragmentation, and what is correct size is not trivial to answer. It depends on what you want to do with computer, so if you don't know exactly what programs you will run, how much temporary space they would demand, better don't create separate /tmp. That translates in: "If you don't know purpose of engine parts, don't mess with it." BTW, configuring kernel I need often help. They have one sentence all over: "If you don't know what <name_subject> you probably don't need it." -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
