My example was in a case where you make /boot, / (root), /swap, plus
whatever else like /usr, /home etc. I thought it was a direct answer, I
guess that I left out some parts. How many people actually keep 30
kernels anyway. I had heard 3-5.

Are you saying that there is a seperate kernel for each partition?
What about swap space? Do I really need it? I thought I read somewhere that it
should be 2.5 times the amount of ram.
It depends somewhat on the amount of ram that you have. If

No.

Unless you've got a real lot of RAM, you should set it up.

I have a 1.5Gig drive. I had problems making my primary/boot partition
larger than 500MB. I settled for a 500MB primary/boot partition, an 80MB
swap partition. My question is, what should I make the 3rd partition, a
primary or extended? What directory should be assigned to it? Is my sawp
Ummm, your /boot partition only needs to be 5-15MB and 5 would do fine. It
only holds Lilo and kernels. Kernels are roughly 300Kb and Lilo is about
150-300Kb. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.
