I am almost up to the point of installing Ubuntu/Xubunto 13.19. I have past experience with UNIX in the AIX, BSD, and SCO arenas, but it has been some time since I’ve gone in and configured disk partitions. I am reading “Ubuntu Made Easy” and the section on partitioning does not include anything when dealing with multiple Disks. My system has 2 separate disk drives – Drive #1 (C: in DOSeze) has 74.32 GB – Drive #2 (D: in DOSeze) with a total of 148.85 GB. I would like to configure the system with partitions for: /root /swap /home My prior experience would be to give /root and /swap equal partitions on Drive #1 of 37.16 GB each. And reserve all of Drive #2 for my /home partition. </div></div></blockquote><div> <div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline">What i personally do is give swap about 6GB, i've never found a reason for more on a standard setup. the rest of the main disk i would give to / and the second hard drive i would give to /home.</div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div bgcolor="white" link="#983738" vlink="#703637" lang="EN-US"><div> Does anybody have any better configurations for this situation – I would greatly appreciate your input and comments.
