Hi Robin,
one disk can only be mounted to one directory. So, it is a good idea to use
one disk for the essential files, like kernel , /bin, /sbin and so on. I
don't know how far you are now, how much do you have installed.
It depends also, how your disk is mapped. Lilo has to find the kernel within
the first 1024 cylinders. That is very important.
I suggest to have a small partition for /boot, that containes the kernel.
yout 64MB are much too much, but if you don't want to repartition again,
it's OK.
Now, how much memory to you have? The swapfile should be about twice as
much.
your fstab could then look like:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump>
<pass>
/dev/hdc3 / ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/hdc1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 2
/dev/hdc2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdaX /dos/c vfat umask=000 0 0
/dev/hdaY /dos/d vfat umask=000 0 0
/dev/hdb /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,users,hide 0 0
/dev/hdd4 /zip vfat umask=000,noauto,users,hide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
