For large drives, that is not a real problem. The problem comes with smaller drives. I personally feel that 20GB is overkill. At this moment I use 5GB on /. That would mean that 15GB or 10% of my current JD won't be used.
It's dynamic. So changing the upper limit to 20 GB does not mean, that a 30 GB drive will have a 20 GB / partition.
I understand that it is dynamic. The devision is 1/3 2/3. This means that on a 60GB drive you have 20GB / and 40GB /home. In my case where I have installed the development stuff and the kernel source and some extra other stuff, I am wasting an extra 10GB on a 60GB. Having 5GB unused is something I could accept. 15GB is a real waste. It was clear from the beginning that it won't be ideal for everybody. So unless there is a new way to calculate, especially for the smaller drives, I am against it. There will indeed be people who install extra large software things. If you compare it to how many people will waste that extra 10GB, I think it is a fair tradeoff. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
