If the linux kernel is stored on /boot, user data & files on /home, and installed programs go to /usr, then how big does / really need to be and what data will that partition actually store? I have an 80gb HDD, so space is not really an issue, but I am curious as how I should format it. How does this look?
Drive 1 swap - 2gb
Drive 2 /boot - 100mb /home - 20gb /usr - 20gb / - whatever space is left
Also, since I already have a 2gb swap partition on my 1st HDD for my current FC2 install, can another linux install on the second HDD use it also (since I can only run one at a time anyway...), or must the swap parition be on the same physical drive as the OS?
And yet another question: Are there RPM packages availbe for FC3, or will I have to install everything from source? Can the FC2 RPMs that I have installed now be compatible?
