I got tired of running on my tight 40 GB space. I could either develop phaeronix or collect multimedia and ISOs and stuff. Naturally I chose phaeronix, which wasn't always fun. Suddenly I decided to exchange my 40 GB HDD for a capacious 80 GB WD, as an extra bonus the new HDD has one year warranty and is 7200RPM. It comes cheaper than what I bought the old one for (back when it was new). I might sell the old one as well as an extra 128 MB USB flash memory stick, so that my budget doesn't get a dent in it.
Filesystem : Everything reiser4
Partition scheme :
Personal home system - 10 GB
Personal livecd system - 3 GB
EGLUG livecd system - 3 GB
Sources / portage / ccache partition - 20 GB
Multimedia/ISO/Stuff partition - 40 GB
Swap - 300 Mb
Migration : I copied the data using rsync
Usage Plan :
All 3 systems share the same portage and overlay trees.
All 3 systems share one kernel source tree .
All 3 systems share one /var/cache .
Each system has its own /var/db .
Personal system is not bound by any rules. Any emerge operations should be done with --buildpkg to build binary tbz files.
The 2 livecd systems should not exceed 2.1 Gb and should not contain any software not intended for the livecd. All software updates will be done with --usepkg to install from the binary tbz files built on the personal system.
The 2 livecd partitions will be devoid of any documentation or man pages.
The eglug livecd partition will have special content added like backgrounds and documents. Also it follows certain sofware rules/requirements as requested by EGLUG, for example arabeyes software.
