primary partitions 25 Gb C: drive for OS and "Program Files" 200 Gb D: drive for data 4 Gb E: drive for windows swap and for hibernation extended partition 4 Gb for a Knoppix install with all the extras (to reset your Windows passwords when it breaks, for example, or to recover files from NTFS when Windows refuses to boot) 17 Gb for an experimental Linux install (Ubuntu or Fedora or SuSE) - you'll like it! - possibly broken up as /boot, /swap, /var, /home, /root, depending on who you want to listen too, but free space for you to experiment with. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
