Re: [PLUG] Installation questions - SuSe 7.3
|
My favorite setup (I run SuSE 7.3 on 4 different computers) is:
2 times memory size swap
15 to 20 Meg /boot
1 Gig /home
2/3(X) Gig /
1/3(X) Gig /opt
Where X is the remaining disk space after you do the swap, boot,
and home partitions. I ususally make the boot first (primary) and
swap (primary) and the rest as logical partitions in the third
partition.
I've heard that some admins recommend a separate "var" partition so
there is no chance of a runaway log file filling the root partition up.
