I think I've read the partition howto, I just hate making the decisions
myself about how big each one should be. How big should I make /var, or
/usr? That's what I'm asking, really...I never feel like I know what's

video card. I had a heck of a time getting X to work. Upgrading to
XFree86 4.1 is what started my off on this kick. Something broke...(see
