Help with LILO, and initial install, please

["Stan Brown" <stanb@awod.com>]

	I am trying to install the unstable distribution set on a machine that
	ran Debian happily for years. The only change has been the addition of
	a larger disk (8Gig). 

	It's been a long time since I installed debian, thanks to it's excelent
	upgrade abailty, but I need to install from scratch this time.

	I initally set up the disk with 3 partitions:

	/ (500M)
	   75M swap
	/usr remainder

	However I ran inot problems with filling up the / partition while using
	dselect to install a large number of packages. So I went back and
	repartioned such that the first partion was 1023M. LILO did not like
	this :-(

	So I decided to repartiton it like this.

	/boot (100M)
	  75M swap
	/ remainder

	I was able to get the install menu system to think that was OK, and
	install the boot blocks. Unfortunately. when I rebooted, I just goot a
	3FA: for a prompt. Not good.

	How can I best partiton this drive, so that I have enough spce for the
	/ partition?

	Is it likely t be /vat thats filling up?

	Thanks.
