Hi :)
Here's my partiton table. Hope this helps.
31 Mb (40%) of 85 Mb - /
100 Mb (53%) of 200 Mb - /home
56 Mb (18%) of 350 Mb - /opt
68 Mb (15%) of 500 Mb - /tmp
633 Mb (86%) of 800 Mb - /usr
182 Mb (56%) of 350 Mb - /usr/local
89 Mb (39%) of 250 Mb - /usr/src
118 Mb (63%) of 200 Mb - /var
382 Mb (75%) of 509 Mb - /mnt/Charles
500 Mb (59%) of 854 Mb - /mnt/Edward
360 Mb (77%) of 470 Mb - /mnt/Fergie
Charles, Edward and Fergie are all VFAT-16 partitions which are available
under Windows 95. Charles is for Windows 95 and its applications. Diana is a
1Gb VFAT-32 partition which Linux can't see. Edward is for clipart, text
files, FAQs, long emails, pictures, poetry, fiction, whatever I grabbed from
the Internet. Fergie is where I put college and freelance work, and my
personal audio samples and recordings.
By the way, I just thought I'd mention this: have you checked out YARD? It's
a wonderful, free package for creating boot disks to get you back into Linux
if you render it unbootable by monkeying around with a partition resizer or
a boot loader. I'm not saying you'll get it wrong, just... Yard's saved my
a** on more than one occasion. :)
