Just wondering how everyone here sets up their partition tables. What size hard drives do you have? How many partitions? How big? Share your deepest feelings.

I'm glad you asked...now, tell me:
Why isn't it acceptable to JUST have ONE partition?
(Considering Linux only)
What reasons would a person have for multiple partitions? Is there any rules-of-thumb about this?

Strike, i wish i had that much http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif...hehehe
Actually that's not true, df misreported the ntfs partition size in this case,maybe that's a bug?
Win2000 uses the same amount of space as root (18gb),i might scratch it soon though...in favor of lfs i'll make or daemon might move there soon http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif.

The advantage of multiple partitions is that you can re-install and not format /usr/local and /home. I don't lose downloaded stuff and notes and such when I fubar my system and can't figure out how to un-fry it.
Try that in Windows!

I like that idea...!!!
Here'a something you'll like:
I keep one 234M HD loaded with WIndows98 .cab's/install just for this purpose.
And, if I'm not mistaken (???) we can fdisk a drive into 2 partitions for something like this...
I learned a long time ago to keep .cab's on disk for emergencies. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
Thanks for the tip though.
