I think that I may try reinstalling everything but this time I will make three partitions within the first eight gigs. One of four for for OSX.1, two for Darwin, and two for Linux. The last twelve gigs I wil use for file storage. Is it possible to have my /home partition at the end of the drive, say in the last four gigs and evrything run alright? Is two gigs enough for my / and swap?
