Well, my usual setup (On a 1GB drive) goes like this: / 100MB sd0a swap 100MB sd0b /usr 500MB sd0e /usr/homes 300MB sd0f So on the 540MB drive I would put maybe 150MB of swap and the rest as /usr/homes. Then make the 1.6GB drive somthing like: /usr 500MB /var 300MB or more if you plan to take a lot of news /usr/source 500MB (Use this for compiling kernels and packages) /store 300MB (This for storing .tgz files and backups). Ive found that 100MB of swap can be easily used if you are running netscape and a few compiling sessions on a fairly active system. Regards, Trefor S.
