I have a P4 box with two hard drives in it both are 80 gig WD. I want to setup fedora core 4 on the master drive and the slave drive to share files between my windows computers. When I go thru the graphical install process how do I setup the partition using disk druid? What are the parameters what is the best way to set up the partitions.

/boot
/var
/home

fc4 will use LVM by default, so you'll only have two actual partitions, a minimal /boot and the rest will be a physical volume to hold all the other partitions.

Ummm--I think you already asked this question on Linux-general. What's different here?

To share data with other computers (Windows included), the partitioning setup is not important.

I need more clarification in how to setup the partitions manually given my setup info. I dont want to do a automatic

I suggest that you respond to our questions and ideas so we know better how to help you.
Why do you need anything more than one partition for / + some swap space?

If you don't have a specific reason for creating lots of partitions, then don't mess with it.

How I would set this up:
Disk 1: ~15GB for Linux and apps (One partition eg EXT3 + some swap space), leave the rest empty for more distros, local backup, extra data space, etc. (Wait and see how you really need it)
Disk 2: Data partition, mounted to a folder in $HOME (ie in your personal directory).

External USB drive for backup
