Hi Jeff, I would try a simple approach. You only "need" two partitions, root and swap. If I remember correctly, swap should be equal to installed memory. 32MB RAM means 32MB swap. Use the rest for the root partition. I assigned root first, then swap as the last partition. You could partition using a more complicated scheme, I.e. partitions for /var or /usr or /home. I just don't see the need. Make life easy. With 408MB to work with, you might end up wishing you had more room on another partition if you allocate too much to one partition. Allocating it all to root lets the directories that need it, use it.
PS. If you have any computer shows around you, you can often pick up 1-2GB drives for $30-$50 bucks. This probably won't matter unless you want to install everything. paul -----Original Message----- From: jh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 02, 1999 11:47 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: recommended partitioning Hi. If there is anyone out there, I am trying to install debian and wondered what would be a good partition scheme for a 408MB drive. It will be running solo debian.
