if /usr, /home, /tmp and /var are separate, you can stop at 200-300 MB > /boot 100 MB (Reiser FS requires larger size than ext2/3, according to > messages on suse installations, disallowing smaller sizes) > /opt 500 MB hope this is big enough to squeeze knoppix on. > /tmp 800 MB > /usr 3 GB > /var 2760 MB > /home 5240 MB > swap 500 MB Is this enough for dealing with 700 MB iso images? iso images are usually read/written sequentially, so they don't require much ram/swap I might make /var a little smaller and /home a little bigger, but that depends on database/mail/webspace If this is meant to be a _real_ mailserver, put /var/spool on a separate partition as well. For a personal/home server, this is probably not needed. > Luckily, this box has the smallest drive.

Add a few for apache, put in some swap, and you still have 100MB webspace left Frank > > Thanks again. > Bing. > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
