Hi. Which distribution and version of Linux will you be using. If it is Red Hat it has an option to audomatically partition which does everything for you. I've used Linux on drives as big as 30 gigs and still it keeps on working. If you want to manually asign partitions I typically use fdisk, and make a decent sized partition for boot, a decent sized swop, and perhaps 5 gb or so for applications. The rest you could use for storing books, downloads, mp3's, and so on. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Villa" <rvilla1@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 3:54 AM Subject: Lynux machine only > I am setting a system that I plan to use for lynux primarily.
