I'll be installing Lenny on an IBM R-40 laptop. I want to have
WinXP, Lenny (with KDE, bells and whistles) and another
Lenny(with Fluxbox, pared down to just what I need, and used for
some experimenting). I want the two Lennys to share the files in
the data partition.
While all the normal data files will be in the data (or
"documents") partition, the /home directories will exist on their
own partitions just to keep the dot files there. This way, I
think that the two Lennys can share data, but not have problems
with conflicting configuration files. It will also ease data backups.
Here are two examples with the proposed setup. The difference is
that the first puts the data file as a primary, while the other
puts the / partitions as primary.
hda1 -- WinXP -- primary --------6 GB
hda2 -- /data -- primary ------- 8 GB
hda3 -- swap -- primary -------- 1 GB
hda4 -- extended -- extended -- 20 GB
hda5 -- /home 1 -- logical ---- 1 GB
hda6 -- /home 2 -- logical ---- 1 GB
hda7 -- / Lenny 1 -- logical - 10 GB
hda8 -- / Lenny 2 -- logical -- 8 GB
hda1 -- WinXP -- primary -------6 GB
hda2 -- / Lenny 1 -- primary - 10 GB
hda3 -- / Lenny 2 -- primary -- 8 GB
hda4 -- extended -- extended - 11 GB
hda5 -- /home 1 -- logical -- 1 GB
hda6 -- /home 2 -- logical -- 1 GB
hda7 -- /data -- logical ---- 8 GB
hda8 -- swap -- logical ----- 1 GB
Does this make sense or is there a better way?
