Netbook partitioning scheme suggestions
- by David B
I got a new Asus EEE PC 1015PEM with 2GB RAM and a 250GB HD.
After playing with the netbook edition a little, I would like to install the desktop edition I'm used to. In addition to ubunto partition(s), I would like to have one separate partition for data (documents, music, etc.), so I could try other OSs in the future without losing the data.
What partition scheme would you recommend? I usually like to let the installation do it by itself, but when I try to that I can only use the entire disk, so I don't get the desired data partition.
I wish there was a way to see the recommended default partitioning scheme, then just tweak it a bit to fit your needs (instead of building one from scratch).
So, how would you recommend I partition my HD? Please be specific since I never manually partitioned before.
Thanks!
