That depends on what you are going to put on it. Will /usr or /var be on it? They use most of the space. 10GB will be plenty. I have / or a 300MB partition and /usr and /var on an 8GB partition, with plenty of free space.=20 The place you need lots for free space are for portage's $DISTDIR and $PORTAGE_TMPDIR, on /usr and /var by default but you can put them anywhere. =20 --=20 Neil Bothwick Windows to 486/50 mhz cpu: Don't rush me, don't rush me... --Sig_t1dIltwF.u1FJrs+Js_H/3D Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFD9HM2um4al0N1GQMRAiZeAKC/qViFDH+246unhRrm4tOFCC0bAACgkO0O baHrPP2l6KKt0v90TelHC4k= =IERW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_t1dIltwF.u1FJrs+Js_H/3D-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
