Slackware partion sizes
First off I'm a noob.
I tired to install gentoo but my lcd screen turns off and wont turn back on randomly at some point in the install. I install'd SuSE but I can't fix a prob with out getting into grapical mode, but the problem is I can't get into the graphical mode lol (it's the yast I need to run...) I have a 50mb / 1280mb swap 3gb /home 6gb /usr 1gb /var and it's telling me it doesn't have enough memory to install slackware what am I missing... (granted it's a 40gb HD but rest of the HD is gonna run XP pro) |
Well, kde for instance would go into
/opt, which means that you'd blow / by 200MB ... /lib, /bin and /etc run up ~ 30MB on my machine ... I don't know which values Pat assumes to be sensible, but my guess would be a 500MB / should do :) Cheers, Tink |
Quite frankly, I don't understand why not make 2 partitions: swap and / . Makes a lot more sense to me, and you don't have to juggle the right sizes. My 2 cents.

Hmmm ... I can think of a few good reasons :)
Loss of a partition ... upgrade ... Cheers, Tink |
What do you mean by upgrade?
And as for loss of a partitiion, I guess a malicious fdisk -rf / would be more destructive on a pc with fewer partitions, but other than that... ? |
