Who has installed & compiled both X and /usr/src in their 2.0.5
installations?

I am curious about how you arrange your partitions. I chose the flwg:

/ 20MB
/var 20MB
swap - 128MB
X11R6 - 400MB
/home - 200MB
/usr - 600MB


What are some of the more typical arrangements? I considered making
/usr/src and /usr/obj separate partitions, but for now am experimenting.
Just got a new 2.1GB hard drive.
