Lightbulb Slackware install help


I'm going to attempt to install Slackware 8.1 and was wondering if someone could help me setup the partitioning and swap file. I'm not to sure on what to do.

I've setup a /home and /usr partition but am unsure what else I need to do before I do the setup.


Thanks for any and all help.

There is some info. regarding this in the Slack online "book" here:

http://www.slackware.com/book/index....urce=x209.html

For the most part, you can just setup your partitions using fdisk or cfdisk, then run setup. You'll have the option to assign mount points and format activate swap space from within the setup program.
