You could also read the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS). It comes with the documentation you can install with SuSE. (FHS.RPM ??) On Wed, 26 Jan 2000, Tim Pintsch wrote:

The defauld hard-drive configuration may be the easiest to setup, but to do the partitioning RIGHT you really have to go in, fdisk it, do a lot of guess work and pray you get it right.
Is there a way that we can get yast to be a bit more intelligent in the matters of disk partitioning, maybe make 4 partitioning recommendations and allow the user to choose a SAFER way to partition the disk without having to go through a 4 hour hell of guess work of how best to split it up.

It would be nice if Yast understood about multiple partitions when figuring out whether you have enough disk space. Last time I did an install, it was totally confused by the fact that /usr was located on another partition, and /usr/local on yet a third (as a subdirectory that was the target of a link from /usr/local).
