I just leave everything as / and then a swap partition. As for
re-installing... well, I'll have that taken in 30 million years when I can
get another hard disk large enough to act as a mirror. =)
I am confident that Linux will keep on truckin', so to speak, until I can
afford that, then, I'll power down the system... and take care of that.
As it is, the last time I actually powered down the system was to clean
out the insides of the system.... And now, unfortunately, this is my week
to do the Church bulletin, which means I have to (ugh!) use Word to type
it and format it. =(
BTW, does anyone know of a Word Proccessor for Linux that will read MS
Word 97, and MS Works 4.0, and earlier, formatted files? And write them,
as well? I ask because I want to do this stuff in Linux and just give
them the disk to print it. Hehehe-- I find a word processor that can do
that-- and I can reformat /dev/hda1 as an ext2 partition! =)
