Here is my current (first ever) Dual boot setup for windows and MDK7.1 [michael@localhost michael]$ df Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hdb5 3.7G 2.5G 1.0G 71% / /dev/hda1 7.9G 3.3G 4.6G 42% /mnt/win_c /dev/hda5 7.9G 104k 7.9G 0% /mnt/win_d
Note: i did not partition hdb at all apart from swap which is not shown. I use my computer for an all purpose home/learning/development tool. I have the internet connected via modem and Apache running (local only, no network) to test various things on offline. I have read the advise given in RUTE and am proposing to destroy /mnt/win_d to install MDK8.2 on. Here are the partitions i propose. I will on Civilemes advise use xfs. swap 256MB #My mem is 128MB / 100MB #includes /boot /var 1GB /tmp 100MB /usr 2GB /home The rest Eventually i will migrate from 7.1 to 8.2 completely. At that time i could move /usr to hdb (making it read only) and reformat /home to include the extra space created. Does anyone have any advice as to pros and cons of my proposed layout.
