Hi, all,
I'm just about to install Debian on my laptop and
am wondering if I could have some advice on
partition scheme.
I have assigned a swap partition of 800MB and have
14GB left. I've been reading the "partitioning for Debian" section
of the installation of Debian manual for intel x86,
and also "securing Debian HOWTO" has a few passages for
partitioning.
So I've had a rough idea of what factors I should
take into consideration. But I still have some little questions.
I will use my laptop mainly for personal use, not
as a server. So my concern for partition is mainly for safty
reason.
It seems that these directories should be put on a
seperate partition:
/usr/local or /opt (I learned this is for non-distribution software) So this can be very big
if I install lots of non-distribution software?
for example, DBMS, sun java jdk, Jbuilder, etc. Should I
mount /usr/local and /opt to the same partition later? Otherwise
I'd need 2 seperate partitions for them?
/usr
I planned to give this directory 8GB before I heard about putting /usr/local or
/opt a seperate partition.
/home
1.5GB?
/var
2GB? (Since I won't be
running mail server, I wouldn't need a seperate /var/mail partition,
right?)
/tmp
100MB
So now / is left with 2.5GB. Is that going to be
enough?
