I'm not really trying to do an RTFM here, because there is no real manual on this, but RTFH?:) There is a partitioning howto, which might tell you things you should know, even if you don't follow its recommendations. Make them all linux native, except for swap partitions, which should be linux swap. You should have one main (bootable, containing root, var, bin, etc.), one swap, one for /home, and maybe one for /usr, although I never saw the value for that, in other than a network environment. However, those are just my ideas; everyone has their own style. I always make my primary linux bootable a primary; otherwise I doubt it matters. Sorry for the spelling; I'm half asleep, without the energy to care.:) Luke On Wed, 5 Sep 2001, Jude DaShiell wrote: > When I tried the custom installation, I forget if it was disk druid or > fdisk but one of them asked if I wanted to make a primary or logical > partition each time I tried adding one.
