Hi all, so after much procrastination I'm starting to actually create the VM for Debian GNU/Hurd. As I was reading the replies in this thread, I realized that no one replied to my question about how to partition for Hurd (or perhaps I never made that question clear enough!). So, there are two issues: how big should the virtual disk be, and when installing hurd, how should I partition the virtual disk. I was thinking of having the disk be 30GB with a 5GB swap and the rest be partitioned as /. At this point in the Hurd devel, would it make sense to split /, /home, and /usr?
Thanks.
