Oh o.k.. The reason being is that I read in the manual the apt's cahe is on
/var, but this is going to be my partitioning scheme (6.0GB drive on my laptop):
mount point size
swap 80MB
/boot 10MB (I like to compile kernels ;P)
/ 3.5GB
/usr/local 1.0GB
/usr/src 500MB
/home 500MB
Debian GNU/hurd letfover ~400MB
What do you think?
