Hey Dennis! How are you these days?
2 Cents? You need to raise your rates man! That sounded like 2 dollars
worth at least! Grin!
Have a good one!

Thanks guys ~ 64 not for now I think ... back to the drawing board..
I once used Mandrake10 to actually get me all the partitions I wanted ~
then pulled out after formatting and before the install fest, so I guess
I get to do that again and once PCLOS is onboard start re-allocating the
directories.
Here's my latest system though I'm looking at changing some of the sizes
to suit the new system: ( yeah, and to get it right this time ). The
'storage and winshare' partitions are akin to your /Archive DL, and are
formatted FAT32 to share with winxp. The /var/www was for me to look at
setting up a personal online server ~ time constraint and all ~ maybe
one day. The 2.5G /tmp was to allow me to re-compile PCLOS ~ again, time
constraints.

Rubbish this all you like, it's how I get to learn how to do things the
right way.
Regardless, you feedback is greatly appreciated.
Now, apparently, I need to update the BIOS on the new Notepad before I
can do anything anyway ~ so off to get that done.
Frank, This doesn't look bad at all. It's obviously a complicated setup,
but if it works for you, then I don't see a problem with it. The only
thing I do differently is to avoid using the /mnt folder for the extra
partitions, but that's a personal preference and we all have our own. I
just don't like spending time digging down into sub-folders to get to my
'Win' partitions, but that's just me.
Keep in mind that you can point KDE to the FAT32 partitions to share
your documents between Windows and Linux. It might save you a few
reboots from time to time. Windows also allows you to point to a
different location for the 'My Documents' folder, so you can effectively
use the same one for both OS's.
Hope it goes well with the BIOS update.
Cheers.
