Hi.
I used to use Redhat 6.2 several years ago and had a simple partition scheme on my 2nd HDD (40GB): /dev/hdb1 /boot (100MB) /dev/hdb2 Extended /dev/hdb5 Swap (1GB) /dev/hdb6 / (6GB) /dev/hdb7 FAT32 partition (27GB) (There is unallocated space still available on the HDD) I want to try FC4 and am a bit confused about the order of the partitions. I have 384MB of RAM, a PIII 866MHz processor, and two HDDs, with /dev/hda full up Window ME and several FAT32 partitons and want /dev/hdb with the above partitions and a /home partition as well. Is the following partition scheme in the correct order ? /dev/hdb1 /boot (100MB) /dev/hdb2 Extended /dev/hdb5 Swap (1GB) /dev/hdb6 / (6GB) /dev/hdb7 /home (2GB) /dev/hdb8 FAT32 partition (27GB) Should I swap around the / and /home partitions at all ? Does the Swap partition need to be the first partition (/dev/hdb1) ? Note: The FAT32 partition (/dev/hdb8) has to stay in its place. I would appreciate any help or alternative schemes to the above. Thanks, Jules |
