Yep. I don't pretend to have a minimal system. In fact, my laptop is the |
| 19 |
only pc I currently use, so it has to have everything I need. |

As Neil said, it is a virtual filesystem. I didn't create it. What I did |
| 27 |
create was the swap partition with 512MB (the same size as my RAM) and it |
| 28 |
looks like it is split into two: "udev" and "none". |

Well, this partition has the purpose to hold all my documents and stuff. My |
| 36 |
idea was to have a partition only to windoz and its programs, another to |
| 37 |
gentoo and its programs, and then this one accessed by both side. It started |
| 38 |
to be my /home but I had some problems with permissions in the beginning |
| 39 |
that I couldn't solve, so I had to move /home back to gentoo partition. |

ehheh.. .yes! The problem is that I need some things from there. I really |
| 46 |
can't wait for the day when I don't waste disk space with crap. |

Ok, but that is assuming that I can point them to other partition. But if I |
| 56 |
have other partition available, I can just merge it with gentoo's one and |
| 57 |
keep everything together. It would be the same, right? |

I'll have a look to that. |

Thanks! |
