| 889450 | 2010-05-30 11:29:00 | Here (www.linuxconfig.org) is an interesting article on partitioning newer hard drives. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 889451 | 2010-05-30 11:37:00 | Why just link to another forum? | Sweep (90) | ||
| 889452 | 2010-05-30 11:48:00 | Thanks Mike, have bookmarked it for future reference, cheers.:thumbs: | KarameaDave (15222) | ||
| 889453 | 2010-05-30 12:20:00 | Why just link to another forum? I can't figure out where the link took you because it takes me to the right article. |

| 889454 | 2010-05-30 12:28:00 | I can't figure out where the link took you because it takes me to the right article. But did you bother to read the (currently three) comments after the article? |

| 889455 | 2010-05-30 12:55:00 | But did you bother to read the (currently three) comments after the article? Just because there are a few comments after an article doesn't make it "just another forum". It was the article I thought some might be interested in. |

| 889456 | 2010-05-30 13:03:00 | Agreed that some may be interested but it does not help those that may dual boot as I do. | Sweep (90) | ||
| 889457 | 2010-05-30 13:14:00 | Agreed that some may be interested but it does not help those that may dual boot as I do. I reckon it would apply to a Linux partition on a dual boot system too. |

I was under the impression that to use Linux you create several partitions unlike windows where it can be installed on just one partition if you so want. A linux partition implies just one partition does it not? |

You can use just one partition but I tend to use three. /boot; /home and / (root) Reading the article it is just a case of aligning the partitions on the right boundaries. |
