Subject: [newbie] How do I do a home partition?
I mean, I know how to partition my HD. What I want to know is how to have a
home partition, how to make Mandrake install to recognize I am selecting a
particular partition as home partition. Also, how large should it be? I
suppose that will be my /home/user partition, will it not? I have Mandrake
installed in two machines. In one I gave it 10 Gig space, and in the other 6
Gig, only one partition in each aside from the swap partitions. and lastly,
is it advisable to have any other partitions?
