[ILUG] Partition Sizes

[Adrian Flynn]

Hi all

I have just taken delivery of a new desktop machine with a 40Gb hard disk,
which currently contains a single Windows2000 partition.

I wish to install Linux (SuSE Linux 7.2) as a second OS - dual bootable.

I have no difficulty with the mechanics of the installation and the dual
booting, but I am unable to decide on the best partition system bearing in
mind all the constraints.

My preference is to use the NT(2k) Boot loader and LILO (v21.6) on the Linux
partition.

What would you advise on partition sizes and locations?

Rgds

Adrian
