Request for ideas on partitioning my Laptop HD
Posted: Tue 06 Mar 2007, 00:36
Main computer is a MacBook, but I have a Presario that I use to experiment with - load different linux distros, etc. Since I have a Broadcom card, wireless connections can be difficult.
At present, I have Windows and Fedora 6 installed. My hard drive is partition as follows:
Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 764 6136798+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 * 765 777 104422+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 778 9729 71906940 8e Linux LVM
Really taken with Puppy. Any formatting ideas. Would like to carry a CD/DVD that had my complete Puppy installation. Started with Puppy Lite and am building up from there. Would it make any sense to have everything on the hard drive and then burn a CD when needed and store the pup_save on a usb drive when I am using an old machine that does not have a burner?
Many thanks.
