Quick Install Question
 
I am installing a dual boot system. I have already installed windows 2000 and working on partitioning the drive for linux. When running partition magic, it asks me if I want to do a logic or primary. I don't think it matters (i know primary will only let me do 4 partitions). I was planning on logical partitions (something like this)...

/boot (100MB)
/swp (512MB)
/install (not sure yet)
/home (1 gig, I plan to map this to another computer)

All of which would be logical partitions. And all will be after C: (windows).

Am I missing anything? Thanks.

No, you're not missing anything. Actually you could work only with these partitions:

/ --> where everything will be installed. This partition will include "/boot" and "/install" partitions as well, as installation will go to that partition
/swap --> self explanatory
/home --> self explanatory

is there an advantage to making the /boot seperate?

I meant / not /install. opps.
