The OS itself only needs a few dozen gig or so.              Another thing is to allocate a second partition the same size as the OS       one, but left initially unused. That way, you can later switch to a       different OS but have it mount the same /home partition, saving the       trouble of moving files across.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
