From: dahlhaus@teal.csn.org (Kevin Dahlhausen) Subject: advice on partitioning for SLS release Date: Fri, 9 Jul 1993 13:23:44 GMT
What is the recemmended file-system and partition scheme for a 125 MB drive?
I've tried to equal-sized partitions, but "doinstall /dev/hdb2 /dev/hdb3"
does not seem to recognize the second partition on the command line. (it ran
out of space half-way through.)
I also tried one large extended partition, but this caused the install
to slow to a crawl. The floppy would spin and then there would be minutes
of no disk activity followed by a short burst of hard drive action.)
(I can't get over how far Linux has come in the last year. Amazing.)
Thanks for your help.
