Okay. Here's the situation. I've got 9gb free for Linux (Mandrake as it is). Is what I want to do this?
1. Create a Logical Ext2 Partition for the core Linux files. (8gb)
2. Create a Logical Swap Partition for the swap. (1gb)
What do you suggest for the space and everything? I've used Linux before but never actually set it up.
This is what I would do:
/ - Everything else
/home - documents and settings
/usr/local/ - self-compiled/installed software
swap - swap (duh)
I would put /home and /usr/local on different partitions so if you ever want to change the distro you're using, you can do it and still have your programs and stuff.
Ah, thanks. I just screwed my primary partition (PM shows it as "BAD"), so I think I'll put it on its own phyiscal drive.
