I have an older computer that has just returned from being on loan. I wan to put 7.2 on it. I have two drives, 1.5 G and 6 g. I will need to custom partition it, right? It has less than 64 megs, so no graphical install. And I can get YaST 1 to run, so all i have is the text version of YaST 2. I have asked suse-support about this. But this is the question: How would you recommend that i set up the partitions on the two drives. The more detailed your suggestions, the better, since this is sort of new to me.
Hello Bob, If I had that system I'd make sure the 6G drive is master (/dev/hda) and the 1.5G was slave (/dev/hdb). Put /boot and / onto /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2. Put swap on /dev/hdb1 and use /dev/hdb2 for either /home /var. Hope this helps. BTW, depending what you want to do with the system 64meg may be large enough for X. Terry
