So where would I do this in the install process, at the prompt for hda disk
partition? Skip over the swap prompt? What comes after, a dialog listing
of all the hard drive partitions? /home I understand, but what is a "/var"?
How would all of these partitions look together in schematic form and what
values (sizes) do you suggest? Which of these should be ReiserFS partitions
"/" and "/home", if I want to use ReiserFS?

Cheers,

Brian
