While you're updating documentation... The installation will let you install your system with a root partition that contains just the root stuff (/bin, /dev, /etc, etc.), and a seperate /usr partition for the rest. It asks you how big you want your root paritition to be, however, it doesn't say anything about the minimum amount of space needed. I think it would be a very good idea to have it put a little not at the end saying something like: (Your root partition must be at least 6MB). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael L.
