Depends on what you want to use it for. I have a 20GB external FW drive that I partitioned in 3 partitions for my development purposes. One is for 10.2, one contains a backup of my PowerBook startup partition (made with Carbon Copy Cloner) and the 3rd one is for Tiger. So, I can switch system on my PowerBook for development testing. However, if you plan, for example, to do video editing, then it would be a good idea to keep at least one big partition because digital video consumes 3.6MB per second of footage. So, as I said, it all depends on what you intend to do with that external drive... -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
