writes: Just a word of warning regarding the new default partition sizes suggested by YaST. I have a 10GB root partition on my laptop and just went to install IBM Rational Software Architect. The install files take up around 2.5GB of space and the installed program itself takes another 2GB (I eliminated some of the options I didn't need)
We could change the parameter for the calculation, currently we use 10 GB as maximal size for root - but this is just one parameter to change...
So, what do others think?
You can change the upper limit to 20 GB I think. New machines often have harddisk with 250 or more GB. Also games like Doom or Quake need more than 2 GB!
And: shrinking a big root partition later is easier, than growing it :-)
Makes sense. Bug #158608 - will be fixed for RC1, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
