Its running great.

Thanks to all the Slitaz community.

For an old laptop at home I'd say ext4.

hda1: 4GB Slitaz
hda2: 4GB Cooking
hda3: 1GB Linux Swap
hda4: Extended partition
... hda5: (remaining space) Home

I have the HDD partitioned into 5 partitions:

  • hda1: 8GB Win XP (for tazinst tests)
  • hda2: 2GB Linux Swap
  • hda3: 8GB SliTaz stable
  • hda4: extended partition
    • hda5: 8GB SliTaz cooking
    • hda6: 8GB Home

I also keep two other small partitions for testing purposes.

I'm planning a full HDD repartitionning as 1 GB should suffice for linux swap, and 4GB for any SliTaz partition.

- I'm not sure how to answer that. But certainly LibreOffice (or equivalent), and a few more programs. But I think I'll try to keep it simple and light, a "play" computer for a child.
If you want to add another few versions of linux and multiboot.
- No I don't plan mulitple versions of linux or multiboot
How much ram does the laptop have ?
- 500 MB

You may want to install the cooking version of slitaz in addition to 4.0 once it matures.
In which case you would want 2 root partitions and a /home

According to GParted my system now has
hda1 ext4 36.77 GB
hda2 extended 501 MB
/hda5 linux swap 501 MB

I can wipe the disk.
What do you recommend for Slitaz

How much for Slitaz
How much for Home
Should I allocate for Swap file? If so How much?
