Hi all,
I got my start in Linux with a pre-configured system, and I'm still a rank
beginner. My system is Redhat 9 kept up2date.
My original hard drive is small (8G) partitioned as follows:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 14 995 7887915 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 996 1027 257040 82 Linux swa
My hard drive is nearly full, so I bought another one - 60G.
It's in, and I was able to see it with fdisk, but I haven't done any
partitioning or formatting yet - I never did such things before.
What I'm looking for is suggestions as to what would be a good way to
partition it, and possibly what to put on it.
Suggestions welcome.
