OK, Scott,
I managed to get into qtparted but I'm a bit stuck now with the
drive options.
There are currently two drives, both NTFS, one is 5.77G
(active), the second is 13.34G. 9G would suit me for program
files if this was a Windows XP machine. Will 5.77G do for this
computer? At some stage I will want to install mono and if it's
anything like dotnet that will be absolutely HUGE.
The format options are:
ext3
ext2
fat32
linux-swap
ntfs
reiserfs
xfs
Apart from FAT32 and NTFS I don't know what these are. I no
longer use FAT or FAT32 I guess I need to create another
partition for the swap and that the swap needs to be
"linux-swap".
But what of the other drives.
Q1: Do I choose EXT3 ?
Most likely I will pick the most recent one and if it is a
"journalling system" that sounds OK although I'm not certain
what it is. I want this machine to integrate as well as possible
with my Windows computers so that it's easy to swap data files
between the two.
The Knoppix command line says "Support for ntfs not implemented
yet."
Q2: Should just reformat the first drive as EXT3 and repartition
the second to get a 0.7G swap drive as well ? (2nd drive will
then be 1 EXT3 and 1 linux-swap ? )
