Real servers get a /tmp with a few hundreds MB, too, this is just my @home-box. And / ist too big on that box, I know. (swap is on hda3 and equals the size of my physical RAM (128 MB), I remember something about swap shouldn´t be more than physical RAM or the like, somebody could fill in hard facts on that?) (ok, /mp3 is out of the question, yes? please?`) cheers, &rw -- -- You are in a maze of twisty little Linux distros, all different. -- Abigail, asr ----
