The default partition allocations assigned by the disk editor were : / 32M , swap 200M , /usr 700M, /var 40M, /xxx 40M - These are approximate figures, they should be close enough for my questions: 1.) I attempted a full install which terminated when the install process attempted to write outside of the partition assigned to / . What size partition is reasonable for root when doing a full install? 2.) 200M allocated to the swap partition seem excessive for my use. comment?
