Oh and no success on the GUI.

Partly success with the GUI. I am able to get both cards configured, but
they won't run at the same time at this moment after trying out for
about 3 minutes. :-D

What I did was `sax -c 0` and `sax -c 1` and with that I could do one
screen on each. Using the thing I normally use `sax2 -c
/usr/share/sax/profile/NVidia_DualHead` did not show the possibilaty to
show two screens.

So I will be trying to do the 1-click-NVidea and see what happens there.

Some extra information:
houghi@pasta:~> df -h

/dev/sdb3 99M 5.6M 89M 6% /other/boot
/dev/sdb4 438G 199M 416G 1% /other/backup

The reason I selected this is for the folowing reason:
/ should be obvious.
/boot Seperate, because I will do it read-only and unmunt it after
booting.
/var/spool
Seperate, because it contains both mail and news and that way I
do not need to restore it after a new installation
/dev/sda6
Seperate because I will not need to restore it after a new
installation
/home Should be obvious. I will also make a /home/everybody so I can
put shared stuff there
/other
Any other installation. Most likely this will be a previous
installation.
/other/boot
Well, DUH!
/other/backup
Backup. Will ne read only.
