Your partitioning scheme, with 3/4 root, 1/4 home, and the rest swap sounds
good to me. You definitly want /home on it's own partition, so that if you
ever need to reinstall or upgrade, you can just format the root parititon,
but keep all your /home files safe.

Daryl,
You're correct...I did miss that part. Could-a swore you were suggesting a
10MB /. However, why would you want to waste so much space on something
that isn't likely going to ever need that much space provided /var and
/usr are on seperate partitons? Even

Uh Mark you appear to have misread my post.
I wasn't suggesting a 10Mb / but a 10Mb /root - a significant

I'm reading up on setting up linux, and it states that many
will setup separate partitions for /usr and /home besides ones swap
space. I would like to ask you how you usually setup your
partitioning. I was a little bit confused on it, for you at least
need a mounting point of root. This is how I
the swap file should never be more than 128meg in size...actually
smaller if you have more than 128 mb of ram!
you can do a complete install with as little as one / partition and one
swap file!
on my current setup I have / ,/home, and swap as my partitions
mandrake does the rest

Hmmm,
well, having answered this one already a few days ago it looks to me as though
there may be some mileage in both a FAQ and an archive in a more formally
structured ng.

here goes.
If you
have 128Mb memory it seems like a good idea to make swap partition = double
RAM.
