Derek,

   That's good advice. In addition to /home and /var I'll put /tmp and /opt
on the HDD. Most of what I add here goes in /opt, but some tools (not those
from SlackBuilds.org) default to /usr/local. Since they're installed and
updated infrequently there should be sufficient write cycles to accommoddate
them.

   Thanks for the advice on EXT4 for both. That makes life simpler for
non-professionals like me.

Much appreciated,

Rich
