hi, i need general information setting my harddrive for a desktop/workstation system... currently my system is set in the following way: / 1.2 Gb /usr 6 Gb /swap 500 Mb /mnt/dos 12 Gb i now know that 1.5 Gb is a little too much for "/" /usr got filled up pretty fast - i run many applications..and file sharing applications my real question here is what slice should i make to hold applications that will survive after an upgrade of the system.... some applications are installed under /usr/X11R6/bin....while some are under /usr/local/bin......and some under other places....i've read the handbook and it gives no useful information ( well, at least in a language i can understand)...and also looked for some info in the "unix bible" book.... if anyone can reply with any information on how to install applications in one place only it would be a great help....i know that PREFIX has to be set with a configure script but what about configuration files...... thanks in advance Ilan Y.
