You can create as many partitions as you please, but I see no need to do this. As far as I know, the primary and extended partition restrictions are DOS/Intel limitations. Your existing partitions are fine: I'd leave them as is, except change /usr and /usr/local around, i.e. /root 128.25 MB /swap 128.25 MB /var 128.25 MB /opt 128.25 MB /usr/local 128.25 MB /usr 1.13 GB /home 2.26 GB You can change these assignments by simply editing the /etc/fstab file. For a base Debian install, you won't _need_ the /opt or /usr/local partitions, but you might install some KDE or StarOffice applns, and then these partitions might be a convenient place to put them. -- Phil
