* steve (steve@itcom.net) [020803 10:06]: :: ::Most everything goes into /usr. If you are building a desktop you may ::end up loading a lot more so if you have 3G it should be at least 1 G ::for future. For the most part this is true..but don't count on it. :) ::/usr/local will depend on your usage, 500M could be plenty. /usr/local/ is for self compiled software and software that didn't come from SuSE with the system. If you just use software that SuSE makes pkgs for and never compile things yourself you won't need more then what the other gentleman recommended...if you intend to compile and install anything or use 3rd part softare..you may want more space. ::/opt is that optional place of keeping things, I'd say with 13G I'd ::spend no more than 1G on that. Yes, it's optional..but SuSE puts KDE, Gnome, Mozilla and many other things in /opt so remember if you don't make opt it's own partition ..it will hang off the root directory and it can be quite huge. example: This is my /opt: (ben@zeus) /opt> du -sh [10:13 02-08-03] 1.1G ::/var would do fine with 500M. Should be good. :) ::/home depends on what you do and where you keep things you download. This could be pretty big..depends on your usage. -=Ben --=====-----=====-- mailto:ben@whack.org --=====-- Tell me what you believe..I tell you what you should see. -DP --=====-----=====--
