Re: re-thinking partitions

When you run out of space on your root partition while compiling, it's a
real pain.  I've had it happen.  I've never run out of space on /var, or on
/ if I don't have /tmp on it.  So, I have /tmp soft linked to the partition
with the most free space on my system.  (This is a peculiarity of my
environment, I know, but I still think that 16M is a tad small for /tmp,
which is what I was originally responding to.)

Later,
