FWIW I add my opinion on this topic. Somebody was asking since many people will be having many different kinds of requirements - some downloading movies and torrents, and some not, I think this will be OK: 1. Calculate the req space for the full install. Add 1 to 2 GB to that for stuff that the user may install themselves. Assign this for /. 2. Calculate the swap in the way it is calculated presently. (I'm running 2 GB swap and it is never used after my 512 MB RAM.) 3. Assign all remaining HD space to home. This way, nobody even who downloads huge torrents or movies can complain that their home folder is insufficient, since even if they had had no separate /home partition, they would not have been able to store their torrents etc after installing SuSE. Or maybe a small change in 1: Calculate the req space for the install that the user has selected and then allow 1 to 2 GB. I would think that anyone who needs a full install will usually be someone who can do the partitioning themselves. What do others think? -- (o- Penguin #395953 lives at http://samvit.org //\ subsisting on ancient Indian wisdom ... V_/_ and modern computing efficiency! :)
