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.

This is interesting. I'm just in the process of setting my two hard
drives up (30 Gb and 80Gb) to dual boot winxp and Mandriva 2006. It's a
bit messy at the moment and I don't have a very clear idea of what
layout would be best.
I'm thinking hda 10Gb winxp ntfs, 5 Gb / ext3, 3 Gb swapext3, 12 Gb
/home ext3
hdb 30 Gb fat 32, 30Gb fat32, 20 Gb ext3.
At the moment the fat32 partitions are mounted under /mnt and the 20Gb
ext2 on hdb is unmounted.
Where do you mount your fat32 partitions DL?
best regards,
Richard
