I'm not sure how you're going to use the external drive, but I don't think it's something you need to format during the install process. It's probably very easy to format it later. (But really I'm just guessing.)<BR/><BR/>2. Usually the defaults are pretty good, giving most of the space to / and /home. Just keep in mind that when you add a virtual XP you'll need to create a virtual partition which will take a chunk out of one of the partitions you create. On my setup I did a virtual XP partition in the /home partition, which used up some space....so factor that into your calculations. (By the way, running xp that way is so neat.)<BR/><BR/>3. I agree that if you're willing to start from scratch you may as well go for it. Re-tweaking usually isn't too annoying, and it's a good way to remind yourself of some of the options you have.<BR/><BR/>4. I'm not sure if there's anything critical....but hardware device info from your current install might be useful, like you said. I think a search on google will get you what you need pretty quickly...I forget which command lists that stuff.<BR/><BR/>I know this was pretty uninformative....I really only wanted to answer question 2 but I had some time to babble. :-)<BR/><BR/>BTW, I'm glad to see your new site with heathenx!Natehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707632708894970732noreply@blogger.com
