Even the installer defaults went that way (whether the / was LVM, or something else). There's even some who've not had a /boot (and we've had to guide them through why that worked the first time around, but not after the drive filled up a bit, and put things where the BIOS couldn't read the drive to begin booting). > I always set up my boxen with separate partitions for /boot, /home, > /tmp, /var and /. I've tended to do the same. Though gave into to just /boot and / for my laptop, as it's not easy to add another drive in a sane manner, so I may as well just use the whole drive in a simple manner. Not to mention that the drive's encrypted, so it's quite hard to do any sort of updates that aren't a complete wipe and restart, anyway. Keeping a /home between installs has some problems, too. You find that certain things don't like your old .configuration files. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
