With an eye toward upgrading to Potato, and hearing all the horor stories about slink->potato upgrade failures I decided to do a fresh install from scratch. So I obtained a brand new 27GB drive from www.compgeeks.com (check them out, great bargins!). I will have a small (say 100 mb) "/boot" partition at the front of the disk (to avoid cyl 1024 problems with lilo), and a 128mb swap partition. Other than that any good ideas on how to partition the disk? In the past I have just made the rest of the drive one hugh partition for "\" to avoid figuring out how much to allocate for everything. However with 27GB of space I guess I can make a few errors without much horror.
I intend for this machine to be a workstation (machine is a PIII-500 with 128mb dram), and will be developing software/packages with an eye toward becoming a debian developer (whenever new ones are being accepted again). BTW I still have slink on the other disk (13gb "/" partition). ===== Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
