of 'fdisk -l' while booted to Linux. Sorry, don't know how to do that. I'm looking as I type.
please, if you never used fdisk, don't fiddle with partitions, you will probably erase your disk. be aware that new sata driver don't allow more than 15 partitions gran total and most Linux default ask for 3 (root, sawp, home) and only swap can be shared between distros. For openSUSE 11.1, heavily used, 10Gb is not enough for root. 15 is good, 20 better. for home, depends of what you do (I use 350Go - virtual drives)
Neither Ubuntu nor Freespire have drivers for my wireless card,
of one distro have driver, the others do also, may be not as easy to install.
Do I do Partition Based or LVM based?
do *not* use RAID or LVM. not for beginner. I'l in the way of rewriting the partition HOWTO, but it's a pretty hard work, not to be done tomorrow :-( this part is nearly ready http://wiki.tldp.org/Partition-Mass-Storage-Dummies-Linux-HOWTO the complete one, work in progress: http://wiki.tldp.org/Partitions-and-mass-storage-HOWTO jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-eic8MSSfM http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1412160445 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
