I know I would, This is why I suggested earlier making hda1 > even smaller and mounting it as /boot, then having a later hda* partition > be your system root. I checked my last install partitioned as above; '/' was less than 55 Megabytes and '/usr' was just under 1 gigabyte. Now "dev/hda1 mounted as /" is 11% used and "dev/hda3 mounted as /usr" is 10% used. I'm comfy for now, but I think all my log files will be filling up my "/var" something or other under "/". :-| I'll try to boot this evening. Ray is probably asleep at this time. ;-) G'night, G'morning, or G'day, depending on what part of the world your in. ;-) Chuck - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
