New Situation:
I have a 4.3gb drive, blank, and a 1gb drive with a windows install on
it.
Here's what I was considering:
Primary:
Master:500mb linux disk
Slave: CDROM
Secondary:
Master: 1gb Windows drive
Slave: 4.3gb drive
To boot into win95 I would just disable the linux drive in bios, thus
prompting the system to boot up from the next bootable device. I've
done this with 95/NT without a problem, and assume it shouldn't be a
problem here either.
The large drive would contain a small shared data partition for moving
stuff between linux and windows. It would also contain partitions for
/usr, /var and /home
Is there any way to create linux partitions that will resize
themselves? If all of a sudden I have a very large job ending up in
var, I want it to be able to handle it, but don't want to have to
dedicate space that is rarely going to be used. I guess I could symlink
it, but that would be ugly.
Another question regarding multiple hard drives: would it be more
efficient to create seperate swap partitions on each hard drive?
If anyone has any other ideas on how I could set this up with the space
that I have, please let me know.
