| Hi All,
On a typical custom installation how much size do we need to allot on every partition.
let's say I have 3 GB of HD.
/ =?
/boot =?
/var =?
/usr =?
/home =?
/tmp =?
Cheers!!! | |

| What I have on my laptop (which happens to have a 3 GB drive) is:
/ 500 MB
/home 500 MB
/swap 128 MB
/usr the_rest
I know it's not quite standard, but it works well for me. | |

No, I don't use the laptop as a server. | |

| It all depends on what you want to use Linux for. Unless you need a lot of space for shared files (Samba, Apache...) /usr should take up the majority of your space. The swap partition should be 2-3x the amount of memory you have. / shouldn't need more then 100-200mb. /var's space requirements vary a lot depending on what the PC's being used for. I usually create /, /usr, /var, and /home. |
