I won't answer you with a size since its mainly depends on your own |
| 2 |
needs, but don't you know that solutions like lvm or evms provide lots |
| 3 |
of flexibility to manage your HD resources ? I advise you to look at |
| 4 |
lvm howto. It allows you to add/remove/move/enlarge your partitions as |
| 5 |
you need in a truly painless way. To avoid major mounting problems |
| 6 |
(can be done but with caution), let /boot and / outside lvm, and put |
| 7 |
the others in logical volumes. |
