The root partition doesn't change a whole lot either. /usr tho, it tends to grow. If nothing else, it grows as KDE grows but it grows with the number of kernels I have too. Of course, other packages grows too.=20 /var is good to have on a separate partition since sometimes a log file can grow to some outrageous sizes. I've actually had that happen twice over the years. Something goes goofy and fills up a log file until it is seriously huge and fills up /var. /home is separate for obvious reasons plus mine is really huge. 1.8TBs right now.=20 It started out that it was advised to set up partitions like this. Then LVM came along and made it even more reasonable since I can grow the partitions that need it. The init thingy because of some packages being moved to /usr didn't hurt the cause I guess either.=20 So, I have it set up the way I do because for my setup, it is the best way. I can adjust things without having to have spare drives to move things around with. Dale :-) :-)=20
