I have some questions about howto setup a (kinda) optimal partitioning
for my 160GB (~153GB) harddrive
I figured something like:
C:\ 15GB winXP ntfs
D:\ 110 GB data fat32
/boot 64MB
/ 15GB
/home 10GB
My questions are as follows:
* Do I have enough room for arch?
Yup your root dir is bigger than my whole hard disk and I have a dual
boot with WinXP
* Should I have D as above or would it be better to have one 100GB ntfs
partition and one 10-20GB fat32 partition for exchanging data?
I have two shared fat32 partitions - i only use ntfs for my WinXP partition
greatful for all advice/hints
Remember your /boot part has to be at the start of the disk.
I'd use a seperate /var partition too - some people use a seperate /usr
partition but they lose access to common apps during boot a separate
/var is good in Arch as that's where all the pacman pkg, src and
database is stored - it's good to keep and eye on that stuff in a
separate place :)
