In addition to what others have said, I would probably make /usr smaller, so about 8GB, and leave the remaining 12 as a spare partition, perhaps even naming it /spare. Comes in handy if you need to move partitions around later, or want to chroot a new system there, or etc. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
