I partitioned the entire 27 gig when I installed, and left no space unformatted. It seems that the last time I looked at my drive with: df /dev/hda1 it reads that I have either used or have 46% there to use. Either way, I am sure that more than 4% is used by the system files, so I think I have enough room to make a partition if that is possible.

Advisable? Maybe. Maybe not. If you have free space, or an existing partition you aren't using and don't need any longer, then absolutely. Do it. If you have to resize, I would be leary. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
