I would recommend putting the /home directory on a separate partition, just to make future upgrades/installations less painful. Depending on what you install, your / partition could be as small as a couple of gigs, but since you have a big drive, I'd recommend going with about 20GB for / -- more if you're planning on running a database or something (and if you are, you might want to put /var in a separate partition too). Once you've determined that, use the rest of the space for /home -- it's probably where most of your data will go. Of course, these are just recommendations. Everyone has their own personal partitioning scheme. -- Ben Steeves _ bcs@xxxxxxxxxx The ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) ben.steeves@xxxxxxxxx against HTML e-mail X GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 http://www.metacon.ca/bcs / \ Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves
