Subject: Partitioning a hard drive
Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2002 14:29:23 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <007801c2932f$03174d80$a600a8c0@glenn> (raw)
I was just reading on a how-to page about getting ready for installing
Linux.
It mentions partitioning a hard drive, and I wanted to get some feed back on
whether any of you wish you had done it differently.
I have a second hard drive, which I intend on dedicating totally to Linux,
drive D, which is 8 GB in size.
>From what I read, it seems that I want at least 3 primary partitions.
Unless I am mistaken, I want one to be no more than 80 MB, and one no more
than 500 MB.
* Should I have 4 primary partitions?
P.S., I still have not decided which distro I am going to use, and I am
about to get to that part of the documentation. I am considering Emacspeak
for the speech part.
