When replying either use your email client's "reply to list" function (if it has one) or otherwise use Reply All (and preferably take me off of the CC list so that I don't get a duplicate from the list and from you. :) This way this discussion will be available for people to peruse and hopefully learn from in the future. With that said, back to the topic at hand. :) On Thu, 2002-10-24 at 03:45, Michelle Storm wrote: > this is from: df -ha --snip-- Since you already have parted installed, "parted -s /dev/hda print" would be the most useful. > As for the /usr/local > I use this to store files like mp3's and such that I want > to share but not put them on a specific user. As you might have seen in Tom's reply on-list, /usr/local is usually used primarily for intalling non-packaged software. Odds are very good that when you set up your system, you set your home directories to be world readable. You can just create a new directory in your home dir for mp3's for example, and set the permissions however you wish. If you think that typing /home/yourusername/mp3s is too much for regular access, you can always either create a symbolic link to the directory, or just mount it somewhere under / using the --bind option of mount. > Oh, and I'm using ext3 filesystems.
