Hi, SuSErs, just added a new slave HD to my system (PII 333, 128 Mb Ram). Now I'm looking for a suggestion about partitions.. Formatted everything, re-installed Windows 2K.. I have to reinstall SuSE 6.3 but now, for the first time, I have enough space to do a serious job. I have 1,7 Gb left in master HD and 2 Gb left in slave HD and they all are for Linux. How to partition them in order to have a *secure*, fast, clever and rational installation? How many partitions? How to mount them? I used to have two partition, one for / and the other for /usr, but now I think I can do better ;) TIA Ferdinando
