I use the following structure: / 800mb e2fs (hda4) /usr 5120mb e2fs (hda5) /var 2148mb e2fs (hda6) /home 32 GB e2fs (hda7) /opt 5120mb e2fs (hda8) swap 800mb (hda9) /mnt/transfer ( hdb full disk ) hdb is a hot swap drive, used to transfer data from one machine to another in separate location, saving data tranfer rates and time. /mnt/cdrom ( cdrw ) /mnt/cdrom2 ( dvdrom ) /mnt/floppy /mnt/zip ( yup I have and use zip drive, both internal and external )
hda1 is an ntfs partition for winders, only reason to use is for 3d graphics app. since ntfs support is spotty, my fat32 hot swap drive is used to transfer data between os. ( download files in linux and avoid virus/activex exploits/spyware problems ) Jaqui ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
