Newbie Slack Q's
Low Level Linux User here, looking for a few answers.
1) Notice that in Slack tutorial no mention of /boot partition I would like to set up a partition schema like /boot /swap / /usr /var /temp /web for experimental server admin 2) If this partition works what size should the / partition be? I am figuring 500 Megs should be enough if all apps go into the other partition. 3) I tried debian but couldn't get it to reckognize my d link sys card, wasn't able to get the rhinetoo module I compiled as a module. 4) Last Q when installing Slack its my understanding that you compile the kernel into after the boot, am I understanding this correct? |
I can't say that I see the point of all the partitions...but yes, 500MB should be plenty for /boot. I would think the following partition scheme would suffice...
/ /boot /home /usr or /usr/local If this is used as a server, then there conceivably would be some sort of backup scheme, and /web, and /var could always be backed up to one of the other partitions... The last question I don't quite understand...are you asking if you compile the kernel after reboot? Edit: My apologies...I misread your post...I thought you asked for a size recommendation for /boot. |

Nature of my question
Just to add from reading up on server admin it seems that many people use various partition configurations, thats why my complex partition scheme.
I installed various distros allready bur they all seem bloated, Mandrake, RH 8, and SUSE. Thats why I would like to try Slackware or Debian (Gentoo would take to long to compile packages from what I hear) My card is a [realtek] D-Link 530TX+ (rtl8139 driver) I tried installing Debian 3 "Woody" and partitioned it with a scheme like the above, I read that the bootloader should have its own partition around 100 MB My thought was for /usr and /var and even /home if used most apps get installed there but apparently as stated above KDE and perhaps other apps are going to be placed in root / |
