paul/others..

the machine is a server, with gnome/vnc. i'd like to do an upgrade to FC3
over the RH/FC2 that's there.. yum left me with a hybrid mess!!

it looks like i can use 'parted' to cobble together an approach to resize
the partitions. but i'd still like to know what a 'good' partition table
should/would look like. the table for this system was put together as a
guess...

should there be separate partitions for usr/var/home or should you simply
have one '/' partition, or does it really matter... the machine is going to
be used for developers creating code/running some basic apache/mysql apps...
but nothing in a production environment..

thanks

bruce

How about posting the output of "df" so we can see how big and full your
partitions are? You could also say what you use your machine for. Do you
have both KDE and gnome? Is it just a desktop box or is it a server? Are
you doing a fresh install or an upgrade?

Paul.
