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
