In woody, therefor, a seperate /usr can cause problems. Does it gain you much? Why should /tmp be its own partition instead of symlinking /tmp -> /var/tmp? Is there any need for a /boot partition on modern hardware? Why do you like a seperate boot partition? I'm just curious as to the reasoning behind your partitioning scheme. M
