Where did you get that idea? From Gentoo installation handbook: "The number of partitions is highly dependent on your environment. For instance, if you have lots of users, you will most likely want to have your /home separate as it increases security and makes backups easier. If you are installing Gentoo to perform as a mailserver, your /var should be separate as all mails are stored inside /var. A good choice of filesystem will then maximise your performance. Gameservers will have a separate /opt as most gaming servers are installed there. The reason is similar for /home: security and backups. *You will definitely want to keep /usr big*: not only will it contain the majority of applications, the Portage tree alone takes around 500 Mbyte excluding the various sources that are stored in it." Before replying and saying that "is just says /usr has to be big". Please read whole http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=4 (part "How Many and How Big?") I won't even comment on whole idea of not supporting separate /usr in Fedora...makes me sad. -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky@xxxxxxxxxx> Associate Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 71A1677C Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com
