Where is the wasted disk space? In the partition table? Or did you
partition the disk with the expectation of SuSE 12.4 which will have
a minimum disk requirement of 1.5 Gigs and a workstation install (with
all the bells and whistles) over 8.4 Gigs?
What I mean with "wasted": If you divide the disk in partitions you have
to know in advance how much disk space you will need in which "subtree".
Of course no one knows how much disk space will be needed in 2 years on
/home or on /usr or whereever. So you have to provide equal spare place
for every partition. After some time you recognize that you have used all
the spare place for one subdirectory. At the other subdirectory you do not
need the spare place and so this disk space is wasted as it can't get used
to provide the first partition which runs full.
