That was one of my questions, or should have been if it wasn't clear. I am
old enough to suffer from that malady these days. What is a good size
of file system for /root. I believe we used in Unix some small size for
/root
but then we had extra filesystems for /var, /bin, /usr, and several others.
These
were on disk arrays which on this PC I don't have. Really, hard to believe I
know,
but it seems like there should be some rule of thumb. Like say the 6 GB
/root
and lots other for /home, and of course /swap. Then have your downloads in a
folder in your /home directory. I expect /root would expand some as you
loaded
applications, so any ideas?
