It may sound silly, but... I usually partition disks in the following way. 40M / 60M swap (unless you expect to run a lot of progs, then 160 or 260M) 80M /usr 100M /usr/local (unless you expect to have a lot of progs, then 200M or 300M) 120M /var (more if you plan to have a LOT of mail in mailboxes) 140M /var/spool (if you plan on doing lots of mail or UUCP _ONLY_ otherwise don't bother with this partition) Split the rest between /usr/src and /home, as needed... This has the advantage of being quick, easy, and generally chops up a 540M root disk pretty well. Disadvantages: you'll probably have to put X11 someplace else (I usually choose /usr/local and make a symlink), and there isn't enough space for /usr/obj if you are doing a world build. ... JG
