[ltp] Drive Set-up on a TP760ED

[James Hawtin]

2.5 gig is enough for linux for something however it will be tight and you
should be picky about exactly what you want to install. will that little
space I would suggest you use "one big partitition as /" for your system,
rather than deviding it up into / /usr /var /tmp to make sure what free
space you do have don't become fragmented across partitions.

Its not a suse system however to show you the sizes you can get away with
here is the space I have used (not avialable space)
/ 70meg
/var 52 meg
/usr 1.2 gig could be pruned by about 100meg as I have 2 kernel source
trees at the moment...

don't forget you will need some swap space, however you can use /dev/shm
for /tmp which means swap can double as /tmp space.

All in all if your careful you would have about 1g free for use on a 2.5
gig partition. Generally I find the amount of mp3s on a system explands to
fill the ammount of available space, so I would suggest deleting xmms and
then you have more space than your ever need ;-)
