Re: Installing Debian using debian-sarge-netinst.iso (powerpc)
Hi s.!
you might want to rethink not putting /tmp,/var/tmp on their own
partitions. tmp might fill up especially in a testing (sarge), dist and
that might lock up your root filesystem. then login into X might get
very difficult.
you might also want to try mounting different partitions with different
permissions. and then tmp should definitely have a noexec tag and not
share the same as /boot (ro).
