Typically, the (hda) would be the primary drive, that's also where
your MBR is stored for LILO or any other boot manager you may use. Since
you say its not gonna be on a network, there's no reason to partition
for separate file systems for /usr, /home, etc.. also another thing I
see allot of though is people making a very small, itsy-bitsy,
teany-weany partition right at the very beginning of (hda) so that the
MBR is separate from the rest of the HD/HD's.
Personally, I would just fdisk both, and begin the installation on
(hda) using (hdc) as extra drive space for mp3's or what have you :) any
other suggestions out there??
