Well, I've gone and done it. I've ordered a new hard drive for my laptop. It's 6GB and it will replace my exhisting drive. I would like some help with setting up the partitions. I've figured this much out so far: The first 1024 blocks should be /boot The VERY last partition must be a 41 MB MSDOS partition. This is so I can get my suspend/save to disk working. Also, I'm going to have an 80 MB swap partition. (Or can/should I do this in two 40MB partitions?) That's as far as I can get. I am not sure what sort of paritioning I would need from this point. My current disk drive is 814MB and when I first installed Linux, I just created three partitions on the disk. One each for data, swap and suspend. This setup works well but I am told that larger disks should be split up for data safety. Thanks for any help you can give me on this. -- /)-._ Time : Fri Mar 12 07:53:04 1999 Y.
