How do I partition a 250 gb drive for a dual boot setup?
Greetings! I have been using a debian based distro for about 6 months. I want to switch to Debian as I consider the project more professional and not bloated.
Unfortunately I have to use Windows 7 as well so I need to setup a dual boot. This dual boot setup will run on a laptop with a 250 GB HDD and a Broadcom BCM4312(I tried installing debian 6 some while ago but had no network driver. I imagine that I need to download it using another computer then installing it on the laptop. From where can I get it?)
My biggest concern is the fact that I don't know how many partitions to make for Debian and how large. I was thinking about making a windows partition of 100gb and the rest go to Debian. Please, if it's possible provide me with a partition scheme (that much for root, that much for swap, etc) and instructions of how to set the dualboot laptop up and running.
Thank you and if you need other details please tell me.
PS:I apologize if the content of the mail has already been discussed. I don't know how to search on a mail list. Also, I do know there is GOOOGLE but as a beginner I thought it was more advised to come here and ask questions that can help me solve this specific issue.
