I ApOLOGIZE for the inconvinence ACTUALLY I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER DRIVE ON WHICH I USE WINDOWS
... on this 40 gb drive i can spare about 14 gb of space for linux the rest would go for fat partitions (me a newbie so i NEED FAT PARTITIONS 2 KEEP SOME DATA) [LINUX IS STILL not used by me as a stand alone OS)
-Back to linux partitions
in that 14 gb (i reserve for linux)
so 14 gb -3gb for swap = 11gb available for THE "/" partition (i dont go in hustle of creating different folders in different partitions (I am the sole linux user on that linux system )
the file system i would like for / partition is JFS (journalized ) and i needed commands to optimize it like increase block size , do that thing with INODE , place journale in another partition (i read em an an article yesterday but couldnot understand how to do it )
--THANKS AGAIN--
