If I was to repartition the 40 gig drive how much would XP require, should I go for 30/10 , 20/20 or 10/30?0? How long's a piece of string, after all, it was BG who said 250Mb out to be enough for anyone. What are you going to stick on the XP partition? Office? Visual C++/Basic etc? two hundred flight sims? XP itself can squeeze into 2-3Gb. (Mind you, this is only judging from a quick snoop around PCWorld, I refuse to own XP.)I seem to have 16gig of linux stuff at the moment...?? How much? I've got Mandrake, Debian, SuSE, Lycoris, Slackware AND Windows installed on a total of 14Gb! (used space, it's actually a 60Gb so there's room for another Mandrake, RedHat and maybe Sorcerer or LinuxFromScratch too.) Sounds like you're copying BG's blubberware habits! I'd go 10 XP / 30 Linux.
I just remembered why the partition is so full....I backed up my windows to the linux partition, when windows decided it wasn`t going to play ball....then reinstalled windows again.....lol. probably accounts for most of the 16 gig.....:-) Mike -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
