My main experience with partitioning hard drives is with the old fashioned
MBR based stuff where you wipe everything using dban and create a swap
partition (size=RAM size * 2) and a main root partition when running the
lubuntu install.

Is there something I should be doing differently for EFI based systems? Is
there a reference website I should be looking at?

Also, I have been maintaining a LO Writer file,
"Lubuntu-additional-things-to-test-for", that I will be using for the up
and coming release.

BW,


Ian
