RE: [PLUG] recommendations?

[Erik Yunghans <Erik.Yunghans@bentley.com>]

so maybe ill break it down like this:

swap -> 512mb (256 mb of ram)
/ -> 100mb (nothing should be here anyways)
/boot -> 10mb
/etc  -> 500mb
/root -> 500mb
/home -> 10GB
/usr  -> 10GB

then i still get 9gb left over... is there a sort of percentage basis to go
off of somewhere? (ie. your /usr partition should be 25% of total hd
space)...

sheesh. 30gb is pretty hard to fill up, it seems to be quite unweldy with
too much space (plus im a minimalist when it comes to installations)

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?
