Question Hard dive setup - Novell SUSE Linux 10.1


I successfully installed Novell SUSE Linux 10.1
with Windows XP pro on my DELL PowerEdge 2400 sever.
I am new to SUSE and all Linux.
The system has Six(6) SCSI 9GB drives.
Windows XP pro is installed on Drive #1.
Novell SUSE Linux 10.1 is installed on Drive #2
3,412.2MB Linux Ext2
4,502.6MB Linux Ext2

Does SUSE require more Hard Drive space?
Can I install SUSE on Drives #4, #5 and #6?

Thank You
Bob Whitman

So you have now:
3.4 Gb for /
4.5 Gb for /home

That should be ok unless you want to install lots of software.
You should currently be able to use free space on drives 4-5 to store stuff, and they should be accessible (at least readable) from SUSE, even if they are formatted to NFTS. This requires that the disks are mounted.

Whether they are mounted or not, you can find by giving for example command "df" (disk free) in a terminal.

Should you want to mount them, go to

System->YAST->System->Partitioner

And use "edit" option to set the mount point, for example

/mnt/disk4
/mnt/disk5 etc
