I'd like to load SuSE 6.0 into a 2 GB partition of a 6 GB hard drive. The SuSE 6.0 manual suggests that for >1 GB space, the partitions could be: 100MB root, ~50-80MB swap, 100MB /home, and the remainder /usr. Using Yast, I do this, only to be told that I need more space on (I think) /root, about 300MB total. It is not clear to me what a reasonable space division should be. My interest at this time is to use this PC (a laptop, actually), as a workstation, with Netscape, Start Office, etc. as the primary applications. Using Yast, what are your suggestions on sizing the partition,s and in what order should they be? Any tips? I have tried loading SuSE on this machine, with the 6GB drive having a 4GB NT partition already. There are 3 available hda2, hda3, hda4. If I need a total of four (/root, /home,/swap, and /usr), I presume that I will make an extended partition. If I do that, I seemed unable to "mount" the extended partition. Does it matter if the swap partition is real or extended? If I intend to use one of the four partitions for DOS-FAT (my NT one is NTFS), should I plan on making two extended partitions from the start? Thanks Stanley C.
