All the downloads are also stored on /var, when you do an update. Even
if you do not keep the update rpms, you need sufficient space to
download them before they're installed.
Good point.
Thanks for all replies - I though 512 MB was a little too small so
today I bought a cheap 1 GB flash stick and will install 10.1 with it
for /var this weekend. It will be kind of an experiment. I will have
to configure so that downloaded packages are stored / moved to hard
drive storage. Regarding syslog, I think I can extend the life of the
flash by configuring file sync parameters.
