Linux Partition Size

**Spatcher** · 08-12-2005, 04:45 PM

I'm gonna use QTParted, and was wondering if I should make my FC3 partition 10 gig's......

Here's a pic of my hdd

I don't know how much FC3 requires...do you do a lot of downloading? If so, you may want to consider giving FC less..like maybe 7 or 8 depending on how much more it takes than redhat 9. I gave mine 10 with a 150GB hard drive; it only used 2 or so for the install.

you prob wont even need 10 gigs depending on what you do so if you like to download alot in windows then only use 6 or 7 for fc.

also your fs is ntfs and last time i tried qtparted it wouldnt work with that filesystem and i had to use partition magic

OK thread solved, I used Partition Magic (which I got for a steal, $50, with a 30 dollar mail-in-rebate)!!!!!

I now have FC3 dual booted with my Windoze.....

cool! I got mine for a "steal" too. Mwahahahaha! HaHaHa!!!111

yea i wish qtparted would get ntfs support so that it can handle all of the partition needs that fdisk cant

FC3 is A 4 disc set and you shouldn't need more then 6 gigs unless you plan on making it your main OS...

Actually, that's a lie. I never downloaded Partition Magic. That's about the one thing I never pirated. I'm getting better though.
