I have a lot of removable hard drives in racks and trays but only have
three large ones...(200GB) so my question is how many distros can fit on
a 200Gb hdd without a partition nightmare
First, it depends of which distribution and how many of the packages
you want to install. I install Mandriva Linux all package groups
KDE, GNOME desktop and a raft of games besides the default. I do not
install the LSB group.
Example selection: http://www.mandrake.tips.4.free.fr/instimgmdv06/12.png
$ df -m /
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda12 10486 6721 3232 68% /
After that, the next limit would be what kind of 200GB drive, (ide, sata,..)
Next would be what the boot manager could boot, followed by now many
partitions are compilled into the kernel.
...most installs seem pretty
safe if you let the install partition manager take control.........
I do not give the partition manager any slack, I just install
everything into one partition.
