Re: [debian-user] install with 3 partitions
I guess my question degenerates to,
"Is there an 'out of box' way to install debian potato where you isolate
/, /boot, /etc, /bin, /sbin, /lib, /dev
on a partition without partitioning up every thing else?
Possibly putting /tmp in its own partition as well, but then you might as
well isolation /proc for the same reasons too, no?
Best regards,
Lloyd
