I have about 720 mg available for Linux over hda (a 2.1gig Seagate) and hdb (a 1.2 gig whatever). I can allocate partition sizes pretty much as I please. My sense is that I should devote a 100 meg partition in hda2 to root / on hda, and about 560 megs on hdb to /usrand another 64 megs to a swap partition on hdb. I have two questions: 1) Is this an optimal strategy? The system will be single user, and will not be used as a server. 2) When installing, how do I get /usr into a different partition/physical drive? Or do I have to move the filesystem after installation? I don't quite get the concept here. Will I have to mount hdb2 by hand every time I boot? Oops, that's three #-). -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
