Mentioned here not once, but twice, already. Thanks, guys.
I've just updated this document to reflect:
- My new desktop partitioning -- or how to live comfortable on a
2.4GB + 2*2GB disk system. Slightly saner than the previous
configuration.
- Laptop partitioning: single disk 20GB.
- Additional descriptive background, recommendations for partitions
and use.
- Copies of /etc/fstab for each of the two systems illustrated.
Cheers.
