how many partitions am I supposed to have for Mandrake 8.1?
I installed mandrake but after i booted it went to the console or prompt instead of the desktop. I wanted to know if I am supposed to have a root, /, and a home partition because it doesnt go to the desktop. Pease help!:confused:

are you asking if the number of partitions you have affects wether you go straight to X windows or not? that's totally irrelevant. the two have absolutely nothing to do with each other. if you want to go stright to X you need to set it in the mandrake control center, at the boot section.

Partitions
Hey what i like to, because I got usta have low disk space, is create a partition that is double the RAM and leave it for swap. The rest I leave for the root partition( / ). This way nothing runs out disk space first.
