Hi,
I've got a couple of questions regarding hd partitions and swap space.
My first, immediate problem is that I've just upgraded my RAM from 1.5GB
to 3GB. I'm running some numerical simulations and analysis that require
that much space or more. My swap partition is 1.95GB, and I've
discovered th

hi ya
assuming your disk is intact
fdisk -l /dev/hdd
and add/guess which partitions belong to which mountpoint
mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/test
ls -la /mnt/test to guess if its /var or /usr or /home
umount /mnt/test
...
when you're all done
fdisk -l /dev/hdd > /etc/safe-place/r
I had my *newest* computer's motherboard crap out on me Friday night,
and I'm trying to grab the data from its hard drive. I've thrown it into
my older machine, and it's being recognized fine as /dev/hdd -- but I
can't remember its partitioning scheme, and thus don't know what
partition(s) to mount

Goal: Gain experience with two different distros yet maintain a "usable"
machine under both of these distros.
Plan: Install a 20GB hard disk and partition it as shown below:
+---+---+
| swap | 512MB |

Seems ok, but you dont need 100M swap with 96M of Ram that you have

My Acer Travelmate 512T laptop (Celeron 366, 96 MB RAM), has a 4.6 GB IBM
hard drive in it. I partitioned it as follows...

/dev/hda6 logical Fat32 (800M)
/dev/hda7 logical Linux (1000M)

Ok, I'm completely lostI know how to make a Linux drive out of Windows

currently have as a drive where partitions are set to Dos 16 type, but the
