Hi ,
What would be a good optimized way to partition a 40 GB IDE harddisk for desktop use.
The system may contain the following OS.
1) Windows XP (to run windows based applications) 2) RH (use daily) 3) Freebsd (to experiment) 4) Someother linux distro (to experiment).
You need to have primary partitions for both WinXP(say 1.5 GB) and FreeBSD(3.5GB).Further, you may create another primary partition for /boot(75MB) .The other partitions could be as per your need and use.

Is it required that the boot files of a operating system should be within 1024 cylinders?
If you are using earlier versions of Linux with LILO, not otherwise.
