I would leave one or two small partitions for an extra linux or two. Suppose you want to test the new suse version, for instance. 10 Gb is quite ample for this. They also come handy as rescue systems.

'd advise to make a separate partition for /tmp. If things get nasty (uncontrolled shutdown of programs usually does that, beagle seems to have that result) and /tmp will fill up you can still start X. If the uncontrolled fill up of /tmp happens without /tmp being on a separate partition some strange thing can happen: When you start X and login X may crash and freeze. This was the original reason I enlisted to this list. I could not find the trouble, I just saw my /tmp was full and erased it (not thinking that would be the solution). So a useful layout: 15 G / 1 G swap 2 G /tmp rest /home

Excellent additions Carlos, Neil, all...
Yes, thank you to all of you. I wasn't aware of the benefits of creating a seperate /tmp partition and had already done the new installation before i'd read your mail. Do you think it would be a good plan for me to start over so i can include that?
See if you can shrink a partition, and put /tmp in the space that you were able to free up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
