Sorry typing error, I meant /boot 10MB.
I think you are right. It's just, I'm used to seperate /boot from /, so I can move around root, if neccessary.
But with the lba32 lilo-option, this isn't necessary anyway.

I had in mind, using the /var partition also for temporary files, because it is nearly as often frequented as /tmp.
Having a seperate partition for /tmp and linking /var/tmp is definitely the better way, if you don't have to care about disc space.
