Here's roughtly what I did with an 11 Gig drive. The / mount point
resides on another drive. These are just my ideas at the time I was
organizing my file system. Your mileage may vary. You may not need the
directories /r-and-d, /misc1 or /misc2, but what the heck with all the
space I had I thought I'd try to make it look organized. :-)
hda5 / 500 Mb # / can be backed up separately and, if
I
# reinstall is 1 of 2 partitions that
actually
# need to be reformated, saving the
rest of my
# work and data from the usual
destruction of
# a re-installation
hdb1 /usr 1.5 Gb # The second of the two partitions
# affected by reformatting
# on a re-install
hdb2 /usr/local 1.5 Gb # From here on I can leave these
partitions
hdb3 /var 1.5 Gb # alone, they do not need reformatting
on a
hdb5 LinuxSwap 128 Mb # a re-installation
hdb6 /home 2 GB
hdb7 /r-and-d 1.5 GB
hdb8 /misc1 1.5 GB
hdb9 /misc2 1.5 GB
