cfdisk revisited
Hello all,
First, thanks for all those to that replied with the original question.
OK, I have more question regarding cfdisk. I've successfully created the
boot, swap, and root partition. Here are some questions that still linger in
my head.
1. Should I make the /boot bootable? I'm dual booting with Windows2000 and
the bootable flag is defaulted to /dev/hda1(w2k). I've been using redhat
linux before with grub. Still it seems like I should make /boot bootable.
Should I? Also, what file system type should this be? It is defaulted at
ext3
2. The size of /boot is another question. From the previous installation of
linux. it is at 49MB. I've read that this should be 10MB. I plan to install
grub later when the installation is over. Which size is more desiarable?
3. File system type for the root paritition; I would like to use ext3 but I
cannot find the corresponding number for it. Does woody support ext3? I'm
thinking the only thing that I can use it 83 which is just "Liunx."
As always, all help is greatly appreciated.
