i have a honking big asus 64-bit G74S laptop with twin 750G hard drives running ubuntu 12.04 and, even loading it full of junk, i still haven't even filled up the first drive. recently, i picked up an OCZ (agility 4) 128G SSD and want to replace ubuntu with f17 so i figure the simplest solution is to remove the 750G drive that's not doing anything, move the current boot drive to the second bay, insert the 128G SSD drive as the new boot drive, and install f17 to that drive, being very selective about what goes on the SSD drive and the rest that goes on the regular drive. are there any docs that advise on a reasonable partitioning of the installed content? obviously(?), i'll want to install the basic OS to the SSD drive, with the assumption that i won't be updating /usr 20 times a day or something silly. then again, who knows how often i'll be installing new packages? i'll want to keep some sizable directories on the SSD for speed -- for example, i have a "git pull" of the linux kernel that i'll update regularly, but i'll use the "O=" option to always *build* outside of that directory, so the build directories will always be on the regular drive. same with my source directories for openembedded and yocto -- source on SSD, build outside. anyway, is there a doc that gives one advice about a sane partitioning? it's not really a "small" SSD -- you can pack a lot into 128G. i'm just looking to be as intelligent about this as possible. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
