[ale] New Laptop Question

[SAngell at nan.net (SAngell at nan.net)]

I have a Toshiba Tecra 166 with a 2.1 GB HD and I am planning my first Debian
install as I cannot get my Raylink Wireless PCMCIA card to do anything with RH
7.1. My question is. With the 2.1 GB hard drive; what partitioning scheme would
you guys recommend? Why do you recommend this scheme?  I know the benefits of
multiple partitions when it comes to partition failure but aside from that point
I have no clue.
I must admit that with the exception of a few occasions I have always just used
the one partition mounted at "/" but I am trying to become a convert and want to
start doing things the "correct" way or at least a simulation of such.


BTW, expect more questions to follow!    };-)
