I downloaded the iso's (md9.1) but each one said it stalled instead of

Is it safe?
Compare the md5sums for the iso's official ones. If they match, the two
are the same bit-for-bit. There's a cleverer way, but I just run "md5sum <name>.iso and visually
compare the output with the one on the web page.
For a home desktop computer, what is the harm in one partition verses
3 (/, usr, home)? I set this up several months ago and left part of my
drive open for a Win partition. I do not want to do that now (which is
one of the reasons why I just want to redo the whole thing). I want to
devote the entire 60gigs to Linux. I don't need to boot into multiple flavors either (Mandrake is just fine).
One partition is reasonable for a home user, but if you want to re-install, having /home on a separate partition makes life much easier. Perhaps just do / and /home?
