It
appears that there are plenty of opinions on this one. You can of course
just leave Mandrake to guess the sizes for you but I guess you are asking with a
purpose in mind?
Information I have been able to get hold of from installations starting
with NetBSD and continuing to the present Mandrake (excellent package!) includes
:
/swap
should be about twice or two and a half times the size of your memory.
Remember then if you are planning a memory upgrade it is easier to allow for
that now rather than have a re-partition at a later date. Thus 64Mb memory = 128
Mb/160Mb swap.
You
can have a boot partition (/boot) of 8 Mb/10Mb which leaves room for
different kernel versions. I have never done this myself though. If
your drive is larger than 4Gb it is apparently worth having a /boot partition
owing to limitations in LiLo
It may
be worth having a home partition (/home) if you are going to have lots of
users with mailboxes (for example)
The
rest can be allocated to / or divided up between / and /usr.
The
minimum is I think two partitions /swap and /
