Re: Setup w/large hard drives

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that you can do
the following, if you don't want to split your disk up into more
partitions than necessary:
Device Filesystem Size Mountpoint Contains
-----------------------------------------------------
/dev/sda1 ext2 5mb /kernels kernels only
/dev/sda2 ext2 8gb / Everything
/dev/sda3 swap 100mb none Swap space
lilo.conf then looks something like
-------------
boot=/dev/sda
root=/dev/sda2
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=50
read-only
image=/kernels/vmlinuz
label=linux
image=/kernels/vmlinuz-33
label=linux-33
It's my guess that this would work, though I haven't tried it; I'm
planning on doing so the next time I set up a machine with a single
large drive, so let me know if it doesn't ;)
You'd have to make sure you copied your kernels into the right place,
of course. But it saves you the pain of having a bunch of partitions
that never turn out to be the right size.
