Here are my questions on the install for slackware (it's currently still installying).
Partitioning:
I installed it on a 15 GB hard drive. 500 MB goes to root, 7100 MB to /usr, 7100 MB to /home, and around 256 MB to swap space. I had no idea what I was doing with partitioning, I used cfdisk. I marked the 500 MB partition as bootable, and made it "primary". All of the others were logical.
Packages:
I chose to do the full install (~2 GB it said)
Questions:
---------------------------------------------------
1) Does my partitioning work seem ok?
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
a) Did I have enough partitions and mount them on the right areas?
b) Did I assign MB for each partition effectively?
c) Did I do the primary/logical partitioning correctly?
2) How long should it take to install?
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
a) The install has been going for about....5 hours now. The computer is REALLY slow, but this seems incredibly long. It's installing each package, it hasn't freezed up or anything. Does this sound reasonable?
P.S. : This is my first linux install other than redhat which I only used for about a week...please tell me if I did anything drastically wrong so far (Slackware install was more difficult than redhat)
