partition size advice please?

[Nick Wilson]

Hi all
I'm installing slackware on an old, small machine. the HD is about 1.2GB and the RAM is 16MB
Could someone please tell me what to allocate for / /usr and /home ?

Cheers

Nick

Ooops! and /swap of course :)

Hi Nick:

On a machine a few years older, like the one in question is, I would suggest an older distribution. Since your hard drive is only 1.2 gig, I would suggest that you create a 150 meg swap partition and use the rest of the space to create one partition.

Otherwise, you would find /home or /usr running out of room too quickly.
