In this case, I followed the advice given in Paul G. Sery's book. However, as you can see, the bulk of the packages go into /usr, which on this machine is mounted in the root partition. Hence, I am left with /usr/local containing almost nothing. Just the same, this is not a major problem as Linux is very flexible and by changing mount points and perhaps a directory copy and a link or two, the currently unused space can be put to use when the need arises.

All partitions are currently being used.
