David: I believe you are given the opportunity to mount multiple partitions during the installation process. At the very least, you should mount / and /usr on two separate (largest) partitions. These are the directories that fill up quickly. Some people also choose to mount /home, /usr/local, and /tmp separately as well. You should mount all of the available partitions when you're given the chance during the installation.

I just installed slink on a 486-100 (Windows throwaway) with 3 salvaged drives (each 540 MB). I partitioned them as follows: hda1 boot Primary Linux ext2 250.4MB hda2 Primary Linux Swap 63.99 MB hda3 Primary Linux 201.8 MB hdb1 Primary Linux ext2 515.82 MB hdc1 Primary Linux 515.82 MB When I chose the type of system I wanted during the installation, it found the packages and began downloading them, then ran out of disk space. Should I have made the boot partition larger? Or is there a proper way to have the packages moved or installed on one of the other partitions? What am I missing here? Thanks for any help you can give to a future contributor. ----------------------------------------- David S. Forcey
