32KB clusters!!!!!!
Oh, man. That's very, very bad.
I would like to combat this by making a small partition just big enough for DOS and
Windows. 256MB? Too bad Windows demands a "Program Files" directory on the same disk
as it. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for programs that DEMAND to be put in
it! Microsoft Office comes to mind. If only I could map "\Program Files" to be on a
different partition...
In addition to the OS partition, I would keep another one for all applications and
data.
Enough DOS stuff! On to Linux!
I heard that I should have two Linux partitions. Can anyone give me more information
on this?
I broke my disk up in 3 partitions. 2 Gig or so for "/root", 64M for "swap", and the
balance (6Gig) for "/home". This allows me to reinstall (reformat <:-0 ) the /root
and swap and not touch any home (user) files
