Propane Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Here is what I have to work with. 3 partitions for slackware hda1 = windows (32Gb) hda2 = linux swap (512Mb) hda3 = linux /tmp (???) had4 = linux / (???) now my question is how much should tmp be? Also - how much space does longhorn take up and can it be installed onto fat32 partitions? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 2gb for install. 4gb recomended. and I'd try to avoid fat 32 for any NT based OS... it's not a good thing for stability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propane Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 im using fat32 so i can transfer files between slack and windows i cant find an app for windows -> linux <_< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 that's one of my few issues with linux. I can't seem to move files over my network from a windows system to my linux one. oh well, the linux box is still sitting down there doing nothing as usual Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 (edited) Moving files from Linux to WIndows is easy. I do it multiple times a day at home, and at work. Using NTFS, FAT32, EXT2, and EXT3... all you need is Samba. samba.org Swap drive should be at least the same size as your ram.

Propane Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 yea i have samba on linux gonna find it for windows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3bruts1d Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 You don't install samba on windows. Samba allows a Linux (or Unix) system to be seen in a windows network. Just browse from my network places inside of windows, and you'll see the linux system if samba is properly configured. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukmike02 Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 You can directly access ext2 and 3 partitions from windows using ext reader. Samba is great, I have it running. You could install NFS and download the UNIX extensions for windows but samba is a lot easier to setup. I usually create one partition and put / and tmp on it. If you want it on a seperate partition I would say maybe 200-300MB. But then it depends on what the computer is going to be used for.
