…whereas the two laptops I mainly type into have respectively 60 and 80 GB disks of rust. Both have two root filesystems with different versions of Debian. The smaller drive's PC needs a swap partition to function, the other needs one for hibernation. Not a lot of space left for /home. Installing shedloads of docs for each person's PITA would contravene Debian's sensible policies. Hopefully tomás won't need to paraphrase this :) Cheers, David.
