[SuSE Linux] HDD Partitioning help
Hello all. A couple of questions about partitioning, as I am about to repartition & install SuSE 5.3 . (Unfortunatly, my SuSE disk is the one with the Yast fdisk bug - more fun & games, French language install it'll have to be, maybe). I have read that using several partitions for one Linux install speeds up performance. What is the best to do about this? I want to have Dos 6.22 still on the system - as MS seems to have placed incompatibilities in win95 to stop old EMS programmes from detecting EMS ram. Of course, Dos doesn't support FAT32. I have the later version of win95 that uses FAT32 by default. Dos needs to be on the first partition of a disk - & since win95 is just 32bit Dos, is suppose the same goes for that too... ?? So - would this be a good config: * 480MB - Dos file system - Dos 6.22 & win95 Dual install boot * 3891MB - Linux file system - Linux Suse 5.3 - Linux main * 128MB - Linux file system - Linux V-Ram swap * 2000MB - FAT 32 - win95 junk archive storage Oh, I remembered. Dos only supports 4 partitions. How does this affect the total number of partitions on the system (Dos - or non Dos)? Thanks for any help. PS - my next problem is that my video card's x-server is not on the CD - but rather on a floppy (which I downloaded; the file not the floppy) . It only came out a short while ago. Will be not be as eazy as could be... - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
