New Partitioning

Device.......Boot..Start..End....Blocks..........I D...System
/dev/sda1....*.......1......13......104391......83...Li nux
/dev/sda2............14....1971...15727635..83...Linux
/dev/sda3..........1972..2036...522112+....82...Linux Swap/ Solaris

Like this?

Why did you allocate small space to /dev/sda1 partition?

Why did you allocate small space to /dev/sda1 partition?

didn't you say "Create 10-15 GB, ext3 for /"

oh, i forgot to mention. i was planning on dual booting with vista once it arrives in the mail. so would that make a difference in what i do?

[devils casper]

In that case, you should install Vista first. Sometimes dual boot doesn't work if Windows OS installed after Linux.

oh, ok.
when i do install vista, how should i partition the hard drive?

[devils casper]

/dev/sda1 -- Primary, NTFS for Vista
/dev/sda2 -- Extended, rest of free space
/dev/sda5 -- Logical ( inside Extended ), NTFS for data sharing between Linux and Vista.
/dev/sda6 -- Logical, 10-15 GB, ext3 for / of Linux
/dev/sda7 -- Logical, 512MB, SWAP

You can create 11 Logical Partitions inside Extended Partition. You can create 2 more Primary Partitions later on, if you need.
