With a hard drive that size you should just take the default settings which should be / /boot and swap. While it is good to have multiple file systems normally, particularly on a server with many people, this is a laptop for one person. And with a small hard drive you are going to be hard pressed to partition it such that you won't run into problems. And with 64MB of RAM I think you will find yourself somewhat restricted on the number of applications you can run at one time. That's my two cents. -- Scot L.
