I was just reading on a how-to page about getting ready for installing Linux. It mentions partitioning a hard drive, and I wanted to get some feed back on whether any of you wish you had done it differently. I have a second hard drive, which I intend on dedicating totally to Linux, drive D, which is 8 GB in size. >From what I read, it seems that I want at least 3 primary partitions. Unless I am mistaken, I want one to be no more than 80 MB, and one no more than 500 MB. * Should I have 4 primary partitions? P.S., I still have not decided which distro I am going to use, and I am about to get to that part of the documentation. I am considering Emacspeak for the speech part. "Live long and prosper", O.
