The laptop in use here has a 40 GB hard drive. Part of that is
taken up by a hidden recovery partition. If I had 320 GB of hard
drive space, I'd be less concerned with allocation.
The use of this laptop includes OpenOffice (word processing,
spreadsheet and a little database), Scribus (DTP), Gi
Pairing /home with either / or data files offers the greatest
flexibility, but it doesn't accomplish what I'm trying to do. On the
other hand, maybe I'm just trying to do it the hard way.
I looked at a handful of machines here and observed that a single user's
home contained at least 640 MB of
I'm setting up a laptop for triple boot: WinXP; Debian Lenny with KDE
and lots of bells and whistles; Debian Lenny with Fluxbox and just the
essentials. I may swap one of those three for a different distro later.
Here's the planned layout:
hda1 WinXP
hda2 / for first distro
hda3
I'll be installing Lenny on an IBM R-40 laptop. I want to have
WinXP, Lenny (with KDE, bells and whistles) and another
Lenny(with Fluxbox, pared down to just what I need, and used for
some experimenting). I want the two Lennys to share the files in
the data partition.
While all the normal dat
I have a Canon PIXMA MP620 multifunction printer which I'm trying
to set up to use with Debian Lenny. I found instructions posted
by users and have downloaded the Canon Linux driver and ppd files
from one of Canon's overseas sites (they don't support Linux in
the US). I had installed the packages,
the new hardware and
allow me to mount it, format it, etc.?

nce I have a desktop icon there. I assume
that I may have created a security problem. Do I just remove the
extra files in /root or must I do more to undo the results of my
goof?

Greetings:
Thank you all for your explanations and patience. I've done some
more reading, though I'm not sure that I completely understand.
Here's what I think I'm hearing: When I look at a directory I'm
looking at a file system, not necessarily a list of physical
locations. But on the other
'm tempted to reinstall, this time making all four partitions
primary partitions.
These logical partitions seem illogical to me. Have I done
something wrong or is it just that way with logical partitions?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of logical and primary
partitions?. I'v
mmand line?) before I start the install? I
seem to recall reading somewhere that Debian won't install over
itself. Any pitfalls to watch for here or am I just paranoid? I
don't want to lose the contents of hda1. I'm planning on using
the graphical installer and manual partitioning.

recording bite-sized chunks that the CDs can swallow. Wish I had a DVD burner.
I'll tar to the flash drive, then transfer those tar folders to CDs.
Again, thanks for your input and scripts.
