Partitions
Hello, i'm really new to linux and i would like to know how much in % should i allocate for each main mandrake partition. (i have 10gb for lin)
/ - ?%
/usr - ?%
/home - ?%
and swap i think should be double the ram size.
you may recommend some other partitions

/swap, doesnt have to be double of your ram, I have 512ram, and very very rarely use swap space.... so 512 could be enough if you about the same ram as me.
/root, I have a lot of program installed, so this could change, but I currently use 2195Mb....
/home... I have other partition for my file, so this could be at (depending on personnal files 1-2 Gb (if you think about putting music and all))
/usr, let it included in the /root install...
so in general idd suggest something alike,
512 swap - (1Gb if less ram)
4Gb /root
1 Gb /home
that leaves you with 4.5Gb if I know how to count create a "file" partition for music, and download...\"Meditative mind\'s is like a vast ocean... whatever strikes the surface, the bottom stays calm\" - Dalai Lama
