Description Matthias Eckermann 2006-03-18 11:16:48 UTC 
When partitioning with /, /usr, /opt and /var in separated partitions,
disk space is not calculated correctly and installation not possible
due to YaST complaining about missing space.
This means, "/" must be big enough to hold the whole installation,
which is not "helpful" at all. My partitiong proposal was as follows:
/        768 MByte (/dev/sda10)
/usr     2.5 GByte (LVM)
/opt     1.5 GByte (LVM)
/var     1.0 GByte (LVM)
/usr/src 8.0 GByte (LVM)
/home    8.0 GByte (LVM)
...
The installation would have needed 2.8 Gbyte, but YaST refused to proceed.
Running with minimal (without X) installation now:-(
This may also affect SLES/SLED 10 (worked with SLES 10 Beta7 32bit):
same machine, same partitiong proposal.
