Re: Partition sizes?

I ended up putting /boot and swap on the 9GB (sda) and everything else
is / on the 36GB. The rest of the 9 is free so I can move stuff around
later if needed but this way I can learn how much space /var, /usr, etc
will be taking up without running the risk of partitioning something
too small.
