* Tom Nielsen (tom@neuro-logic.com) [030427 12:29]: ->I screwed up my upgrade on my 8.0 system going to 8.2 and had to redo ->the whole thing last night. I didn't have a /home directory and at the ->recommendation of everyone, I made one before installing. -> ->Anyway, I made my /home directory 2GB in size. Is that too big....too ->small, or just fine? This is how my machine is layed out. :) Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 2071416 420560 1545632 22% / /dev/hdb1 59106972 9500192 46604236 17% /home /dev/hda1 5162796 1040640 3859900 22% /opt /dev/hda3 22185428 4294060 16764412 21% /usr And yes, I've found that putting /opt on it's own slice at the beginning of the hard drive does speed things up. If one thinks about /opt is where KDE lives and those programs are quite large...so having them at the beginning of the disk does improve the speed. :) And I got in the habit a couple years ago of putting /home on a seperate disk so I never had to worry about that kind of thing. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
