On systems that use yum, there is an option for yum.conf that limits the number of installed versions of package, which is usually defaulted to limiting the number of kernel packages installed. I don't know if a similar feature exists for Debian/Ubuntu type packing systems. As a general rule, I've been using LVM on almost of my installs the last few years. Typically place /boot and swap outside, and everything else in LVM. Leaving some space free in the volume group, I'm able to grow (and sometimes shrink) file systems as needed. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
