I think it is always better (if possible) to use the same partition scheme on all computers that I build. It doesn't really matter what that scheme is, consistency is what works over the long run. For your piece of mind, I almost always have a swap partition at the beginning of the drive, it has never caused any boot problems. > > Rich > _______________________________________________ > PLUG mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug -- Derek Loree _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
