This is the default partition scheme from 2001 according to the handbook :-) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Partition Size Type |
| 30 |
boot partition, containing kernel(s) and boot information ~100 |
| 31 |
Megabytes ReiserFS recommended, ext2 ok |
| 32 |
root partition, containing main filesystem (/usr, /home, etc) >=1.5 |
| 33 |
Gigabytes ReiserFS recommended, ext2 ok |
| 34 |
swap partition (no longer a 128 Megabyte limit) >=128 Megabytes Linux swap |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
No seperate /usr either |
| 37 |

I know that you want the avoid an initramfs given your experience from |
| 46 |
mandrake lot's of years ago. The solution now is to merge /usr to / or |
| 47 |
risk that one day your system won't boot. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I know that some changes are hard to overcome, but that does not mean |
| 50 |
you can look away :-) |
