Again why? What's the difference between a small / and a 1.8GB (byte not bit) one? There is nothing here to back this up. Not enough space is not enough space reguardless how much you started out with. > And if you had a 1.8Gb partition with only 15Mb free, the last thing > you'd care about is how softupdates will handle the situation. Why would I be so concerned? If I don't expect to need that 15M then, I've sized my partition just right. Don't put cares in my basket that don't need to be there.
