Hi Folks: It's time for me to again clean my HD of all the rubbish
accumulated over the past year.
I want to reformat and then do  clean install of ME - no, I've had no
trouble with ME on my system. (I updated from WIN98, but understand you can
do a clean install if you have the WIN98CD.)

I thought I would partition my HD (at the moment its one large partition)
and install Mandrake 8. I have PM6.

What I would like help on is -
1. Info on partitioning (I've done a search for various links, but I'm sure
you folk know a lot more)
and more importantly
2. Your own personal experience with different partition combinations.

The details of my system are:
HD21GB (IMB 7200)
256 RAM
OS MSME/Linux Mandrake 8
DVD/CD-RW/Zip/FD

TIA
