/boot does not (I've had /boot be a symlink to a dos partition (don't ask ;-)). swap doesn't, of course. /var doesn't: /dev/hda2 193M 32M 151M 18% / /dev/hdc1 968M 842M 116M 88% /usr /dev/hdc3 1.7G 1.6G 95M 95% /var /etc does, unless you want to play nasty tricks with overwriting a skeletal /var with a mount. /tmp I'm not sure of. Personally, if I anticipate needing a lot of swap, my swap partition is at the top of the list. If not, it can go on a slower drive. Next is /home, then /tmp, then /var, then then the root fs and finally /usr. But it all depends on how you use your system, really... I do a *lot* in my /home diriectory, ie, lots of compiling, etc, which is why I prioritize it so high. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
