    Question Suggested Partitinoing setup SuSe 10.2

    I erased an hd with fdisk in rescue...
    Still the installer gives me an odd hard to understand partinioning table suggestion.
    The only decipherable thing is a 1gb swap folder which i guess makes sense since I have 512 ram...
    But the root is only 6 gb on a 40 gb drive... and when I tried earlier this caused the root partiong to be 96% full which is no good.

    Anyone wanna help me out with a good default suggestion?
    This will just be an everyday desktop...

    Talking Use all harddisk

    use entire hard disk selection.... (this simplified things but was rather odd to navigate to)

    You can adjust the partion sizes to what you want the ones presented are only suggestions. It is better to have a seperate partion for home. This allows updates or Distro changes without destroying your personal data.

    i agree with gogalthorp. create separate /home partition. you need only three partitions. /root, SWAP and /home. space allocation depends on you.

    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    thanks and i agree as well but if you hit custom partitioning and use entire hard disk it makes more understandable suggestions.

    my personal setup for suse 10.2 is:

    Code:
    /        5000MB (this is for suse installation)
/home    80,000MB (or more) (this will hold all your personal settings, including files you dload, music, movies, etc.)
swap    1024MB (or 2048MB, whatever you'd like)
