Partition optimization

[Iain Stevenson]

I like the look of this one:

> 4 Gb:  100 Mb for MacOS, 128 Mb for swap, 1 Gb for /home, rest for /
> 1 Gb:  all used as 1 Gb mirror of /home (via raid or cron job)

Putting / and /usr on different partitions is a bad idea since the system 
initialisation scripts aren't set up to support this.  You can make it work 
but you'll spend hours hacking scripts.

A single partition for the system files has the merit of simplicity.  You 
can easily install an IDE card and drive in the future if space becomes a 
problem.
