dual boot--partition sizes
 

Hi. To be safe I'm planning to use a 9 Gig partition for slackware 13. I'm not sure what size is sufficient for running Windows XP. My total hard drive space is 74.4 Gigs. Any recommendations?

Depends on how much crap you have installed in Windows. WindowsXP himself is happy in a partition of 2-3GB.

Hi,

I have 80GB on my laptop. I have 3 OS, slackware main, slackware testing (testing the -current), and windows XP.

Windows XP - 10GB - previously 15GB but give 5GB to testing (OS, ms office, browsers, bluetooth app, plant vs zombie :D, etc)
Slackware Testing - 5GB (slackware -current except KDE and KDEi)
Swap partition - 3GB
Slackware main - the rest (cool stuff here :D)

First primary partition WindowsXP 10GB + a separate common partition fat32/ntfs 10GB? (backup data etc)
Slackware13: root /8GB + /swap(2xram size or 1GB) + /home 10GB/balance?
