Very correct, although I would add that using an extended partition for one or more of the above would allow for expansion.
It's certainly a viable option - I don't think I've ever bothered doing it myself.
Really? I always use logical partitions but I tend to keep my previous release (10.0) along with anything new (10.1) so I need more partitions.
As proposed he would be out of partitions and would have to devote the entire 160GB among /home and / which is waay more than needed.
Depends on what you do - a fair amount of video recording/editing will gobble up those 160Gb fairly fast. I said 20Gb for root (/) to allow for lots of space in /usr/src, in /var and /tmp, the typical growth areas apart from /home. I think I usually allocate 10Gb for root these days.
True but he would still have the option to add more partitions. I think I allocate about 13 or 15GB for root these days. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
