Which Drive for / and which for /usr?


I'm installing slackware 10.0 on an old computer with 2 hard drives, one is 2GB, the other is 1.2GB and I was wondering which one I should use as my /usr drive and which to use as /.

The one that's 2gb should be /usr as most things are installed inside that directory.
I've Slackware installed in a disk with 2gb, and i recommend you to not install stuff like KDE, it takes a lot of MB
There are also a lot of packages that you'll never use, just try different setups and see if you are comfortable.
