OK, I've reviewed various posts on partition sizes and just don't see a consensus on how to break things down other than for swap.
Since I get various size HD's coming in all the time I've decided to take one of the larger ones thats come in to the parts bin recently and put it to use.
So whats the best way to partition up a 20GB for knoppix other than just root and swap.
I'd ideally like something that in the future would be easy to do upgrades as successive versions come out with out doing a lot of backup/restore operations
The machine has 160MB RAM so I plan on either a 512MB or 1GB swap, probably 1GB just to be easy. So then what?
root
home
usr
Sizes? Other partitions? ? All will be ext3 plus the 1GB swap.
Lets have comments on the best way to do this with ease of upgrade for the future for BOTH Knoppix and INSTALLED APPS
Thanks in advance.
