It was reported, but not by me.

One last (I hope) update for now, and a little clarification for those not
following all the posts, and those that may venture here later:

Based on other opinions, it would seem there is a bias against multiple
partions. My recommendation would be:
/ 500MB
/boot 64MB - Note should be primary partiton not extended
SWAP 256MB - Twice memory is a good place to start. You can always add
another if you need to

Thanks to all. I'm going to print out the Partitioning mini-faq, as it
answers some other questions, and I'll use the examples for suid, remount,
and others in fstab and elsewhere. I did look at it last night, among a lot
of other docs/posts, but the date and small partition sizes threw me a b

IMHO it's way too complicated. :-) My laptop has two partitions, for
/ and /home, and I'm quite happy with that. Having /home separate is
useful since if you reinstall you can do it without nuking all of your

On some suse installs, I couldn't get the install to work because it said that
ReiserFS, which I use for all partitions, needed more space. It accepted
smaller sizes for ext2 and ext3, but I prefer ReiserFS. Don't remember how
much it required, but my other boxes are set all above 100 MB, and

I don't that's an issue. I routinely burn 700 MB ISO images on a Pentium Pro

Thanks to all who responded. Looks like I'll be repeatedly installing so
your advice will not go to waste.

Don't some programs use /tmp to store in-progress downloads, and thus
would have problems if /tmp weren't big enough? Say, for example, I was
downloading a 600MB ISO image. Wouldn't /tmp have to be at least that
big for the download to
