Make sure you mount /var on its own partition right from the start, or
bump up the inode count when you make the / partition (I don't have a
clue as to what would be reasonable, but I do know it is
/var/lib/dpkg/info that eats up all the inodes).
I tried to install potato into a 20M / with /usr on another partition, I
kept running out of space... df told me that only 9 (or so) meg of the /
partition was being used, dumpe2fs told me I had run out of inodes. I
had to make the / partition 22M before potato would install, but then I
ran out of inodes trying to install all the .debs I had downloaded (they
are sitting in the partition that will eventually hold /var and /home).
