Just check the "Install Everything" box on a RedHat 6.2 install and you have their install scheme. This is how it was partitioned: [tomc at virgo tomc]$ df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 1035660 104884 878168 11% / /dev/sda3 23333 5998 16131 27% /boot /dev/sda8 521748 360 494884 0% /tmp /dev/sda5 2071384 1346788 619372 68% /usr /dev/sda10 61361284 20298384 37945892 35% /usr2 /dev/sda9 256667 80107 163308 33% /var /dev/sda2 4134932 47884 3877000 1% /home I would have configured a bigger /var partition, but it has worked so far. Sounds like a reformat & reinstall would be a pain with making sure you have the PERC drivers around during the install. But then again I can't really comment on this since I didn't do it. It might actually have been easy... -- Tom Cross Voice: 320-253-1020 FAX: 320-253-6956 System Administrator E-mail: tomc at kendeco.com Airgas Kendeco Tool Crib http://www.kendeco.com --> Now with new and improved extension number 207!!! <-- St Cloud Area Linux Users Group: http://www.scalug.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
