greeting all. i'm drooling over a new 45G hard drive and plotting how to cut it up.
this is my plan at the moment -- wanted to see if anyone saw any dumb ideas here, or
is there is something else on the linux side that i should give it's own partition.
i'm trying to make it easy to install / upgrade the OS without splatting all my
installed programs. i may not have my hda* things right... seems like i read it
skips a number someplace if you have lots of partitions? am i on track there? so far
my idea is thus (partitions sizes are estimates naturally):
hda1 - fat16 - 1G
hda2 - fat32 - 4G Win98
hda3 - NTFS - 4G WinNT 4.0
hda4 - fat32 - 6G
hda5 - fat16 - 1G Win98/NT swap files
hda6 - 5G /home
hda7 - 500M /var
hda8 - 5G /
hda9 - 5G /usr
hda10 - 5G /usr/local
hda11 - 5G future OS - i'd like to try out this BeOS thing. will it install this far
"back" on a drive??
hda12 - whatever - fat32 - to be used & repartitioned as needed.
thank you for comments
happy monday....
