PSA: Slackware Current partition size
by upnort from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BD14)
A public service announcement (PSA) of sorts.
For years I have created a 20 GB system partition. While I am not involved much this cycle with testing Current, today I updated my Current VM with the recent mega release. By the time the update completed there was not much space left in the 20 GB partition.
I resized to 30 GB. I think 30 GB now will be my new normal. Oh how times have changed from the single CD days!
My update went well. I remembered to remove all stale packages. My VM is configured to boot with Xfce and I immediately noticed the GTK difference.
Anyway, as always, good job Pat that these updates are not traumatic with Slackware.
So long 20 GB system partitions. I knew you well and will miss you!
