Please offer any comment that comes to mind. I am trying to get the hang of Linux disk partitioning mentality. I want to consider this from a Linux perspective and not from a Windows perspective.
That's exactly how I setup my boxes, even Sun has gone away from the old method of slicing up large disks into small ones. Some say that if you have a corruption, then you are spared, but not in my experience.
The ONLY modification I would recommend to the Yast standard is optionally breaking out /home into a separate partition. That way you can do a clean install and never touch your own private home directories. Not strictly necessary, but often nice to have. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
