hey

I´m now running Windows XP on a 80 GB HD...my plan is to install
Mandrake 9.2 on this HD....I want to have a optimal mandrake
system....the problem is...i'm not quite sure how to best organize the
partitions for mandrake...i´m willing to spare say som 20 GB on mandrake

I guess most of it goes to /home but i'm not sure about the proper size
of the rest.../tmp, /root and so on...

anyone who have a solution for me?

Thanks

Bob
