Re: [PLUG] recommendations?

Probably, different partitions for each of the major portions of the
filesystem - one partition for /, one for /var, one for /usr, one for /home,
one for /etc, and one for /boot (the first partition, 10M in size or so - to
forestall any problems with LILO tring to load from beyond the 1024 cylinder
boundary). With different partitions, you can unmount them easily for
undeletion (thank you, Bill Jonas!) or for converting to the new ReiserFS
Journalling file system, for example.
As for sizes ... no idea. :-)
Did I get that right?
