[ale] "Recommended" Partitioning Layout ?

[Courtney Thomas]

Greetings Again !

For anyone that missed Ben Scherrey's generous response.......

I'm installing a new 8 Gig HD and would appreciate guidance regarding
"optimal" partitioning.

In more particular, with the present setup, I am getting the message
when I.....

	fdisk /dev/hda

	"partition does not end on cylinder boundary"

>From the perspective of security and backups, I'd be grateful for

recommendations regarding /proc, swap, /boot, how many partitions of
what type,....... 

Appreciatively,

Courtney
