[Trinux-talk] fs layout/capacity, need improvement

[William S. <ws...@xs...>]

Below is the output for df on my Thinkpad 600e running
the 5sep02.iso with a custom kernel.

When I last attempted to install a lib package I was
informed I was out of space. That would appear to be
correct looking at the capacity of /.

My questions:

Anything obvious I should do to switch things around?

I am considering the addition of another mount point
to accommodate just the lib. Not sure how to do this
but I assume I could edit something in initrd. Which
file there? Content?

Another consideration, if I were to compile and
build a larger kernel, would it fit in the space
presently reserved for it or do the mount points
automatically adjust with size changes in the kernel?
