I'm just in the process of installing SuSE 6.4 on one of my machines. This machine already has two other operating systems (Win95 and OS/2). I have a reasonable amount of disk space for SuSE (around 8 GB), but the available disk space within the first 1024 cylinders is limited (less than 2 GB). As a result, I wanted to partition the drive to leave a relatively small partition below the 1024 limit, and split the rest of the system onto partitions further up on the disk.
Can someone suggest a set of suitable mount points? I tried using one partition set as /, and another set as /usr, but this isn't a wonderful split - I've ended up with less than 100 mb on the / partition, but close to 1.6 gb on the /usr partition.
What I'm not sure of is whether I should make more than 2 partitions, or whether there is a better split than the one I've tried. Any suggestions welcome...
paul.
