Re: Partitioning hard disk

[Michelle Maria Coelho <mcoelho@purdue.edu>]

Thank you for the prompt replies.
I'll try what you said and I think it will work. I decided to split the
swap among the disks because the Howto on Partitonioning a Hard Disk
suggested this.
I guess since I'll be the only user, I needn't have a /home partition.
Are  any other partitions besides / and /usr needed in my situation?
Thanks.
Michelle
