1. I'm concerned about the default partitioning,
As you should be. Here is a sample df: consider: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 1052184 165524 886660 16% / tmpfs 124044 12 124032 1% /dev/shm /dev/hda1 54416 6337 45270 13% /boot /dev/hda5 1052184 710996 341188 68% /home /dev/hda8 4120508 529740 3590768 13% /opt /dev/hda7 722852 35092 687760 5% /tmp /dev/hda9 6168700 2531652 3637048 42% /usr /dev/hda10 321200 70612 250588 22% /usr/local /dev/hda6 722852 389936 332916 54% /var You want at least these parts listed above... no I'm not going to argue about it. /usr/local is optional My / root could have been smaller 300Mb works well... but for reasons I won't go into here I made it 1GB. /home should be mounted nosuid. /var and /tmp should be a seperate parts On my larger systems I will allocate smaller sizes for the standard parts (like above) and then put the rest of the drive on /local, or /work. The above is from my laptop.... The default partitioning on Suse is one of the distros few negatives. They just don't do it right. IMHO Kind regards, M Harris <>< Kind regards, M Harris <><
