"Primary partition":
WinXP NTFS 60 GB
"Extended partition" (with the following "logical partitions"):
/boot ext3 50 MB I would not create separate /boot partition unless you are developer and plans to deal with various of kernels (lilo does not have a 1024 cyl limit anymore)
/swap swap 512 MB how much memory do you have. For future use (who knows?) I would add some MB to that say 750MB in total
/ ext3 10 GB /home ext3 50 GB
Is that OK? Do I use primary and extended in the right way – and what about the order of the partitions? when you delete /boot from your list you can create all four partiotions as primary.
Any othe comments?
I am considering dividing the Win-partition into two partitions – one for the OS and one for data (maybe in FAT32 format). I don't think it is any advantage using c: and d: for data (i have an experience with that). a lot of stupid win programs assumes your data are on c: and you will have to deal with this defalt setting
How would such a partition table look like (would that demand one more primary partition)? Will I have to create the two Win partitions from YaST or from Windows? I would recommend to create everything in yast
