You can read about partitioning your drive https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/apc.html.en It is minimalistic but it gives you an impression So what I usually do is having two partitions (assume you install on /dev/sda) /dev/sda1 about 512MB format ext3 or ext4 will be boot partition /dev/sda2 the rest of the drive when installing I choose to encrypt (luks) /dev/sda2 then create logical volumes on the encrypted partition. Typically: /dev/mapper/G500lvm-data /dev/mapper/G500lvm-home /dev/mapper/G500lvm-opt /dev/mapper/G500lvm-root /dev/mapper/G500lvm-swap you've got some recommendations about root and opt - the rest depends on you swap is at least 1x or 2x the memory you have. I choose the maximum memory size I can place into the machine (you never know) and then install as mentioned before: first minimal debian and then TDE good luck --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
