Hi, I would like to install the 10.1 release of Mandrake on my new notebook. I would like to partition my HD so I will not have to format partition with my data each time I try to fully reinstall linux distribution.
My question is, how I should partition my HD and what directories should be on which partition? I was thinking about something like: Partition | Mount | Size GB | Contents -----------+--------------+---------+------------------------------ Root | / | 5 | /boot, /etc, /usr, /var, ... Data | /mnt/disk | ~65 | /home, /usr/local, /tmp Windows | /mnt/win | 10 | Swap | swap | 0.5 | More questions: - Do I need to have /usr on a root partition? - What FS would you recommend? Is it possible to have / as ext2/3 and /mnt/disk as reiserfs? The station is meant to be mainly desktop/development machine. Currently I am Debian user. Thanks, Stefan -- http://stefan.agentfarms.net
