This works best with Maxtor Drives and I'm assuming that you won't be
putting Windows in the drive. Also, make sure your BIOS can see beyond
the 8.4GB partition limit.
When you get to the fdisk part of the installation, create the following
partitions:
/dev/hda1 - 2GB - / partition
/dev/hda2 - 32MB - swap partition
/dev/hda3 - 17GB+ - /home partition
A complete Slackware install will consume only 800MB of the / so you got
1.2GB for installing other software and for your /var files. Get Samba
2.2
and put up the 17GB /home for your users.
