Hi, I have decided that I *must* install Debian on my laptop- I bought it via TradeMe not long ago with that in mind, but I haven't yet got around to it. It has W98 on it, but I'm only running VNC to get to my (Debian) server.
The last time I installed Debian the only problem I had was "What size to make the partitions?". I didn't know how many I wanted, what mount points, what size and whether they should be primary or secondary. That was with a 40Gb disc on the server. So, the laptop is a Pentium II 300MHz ThinkPad 600E w 128Mb RAM and 10Gb HD. I am pretty happy with that spec. of machine and know what to expect when I put Linux on it. The machine will most often be on the home LAN and can access the server, but I do want to be able to run the machine independently (it is a laptop) occasionally. I have researched on the web any peculiarities I might find with the ThinkPad and Linux, so I don't expect any surprises there. I am happy with Debian 3.0, and although the laptop works with Knoppix I don't want to install Knoppix. Could someone please spoonfeed me with a recommended partition layout for the 10Gb HD with Debian 3.0? TIA Andy -- Now playing: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Serenata notturna in D major..
