I have a 250 gb hd on my desktop, 100 gb of that is dedicated for windows vista. I wanted to allocated 50 or so for opensuse. Is that enought? if so how should I allocate that 50, ie how much of it should be swap or mounted to / or mounted to /home etc?
Thanks you
It’s enough.
Partition as follows:
swap (2xRAM) I wouldn’t use more than 2GB
/ (15GB)
/home (All the rest)
Look here I have some howto’s / vid’s: HowTo Compilation - openSUSE Forums
Thanks, what do you mean by 2XRAM?

Take the amount of RAM on the machine in GB and double it! If you
cannot multiply by 2, then use a calculator.
I didnt think to take it literally
@Shamess: I think it’s meant to have a lol! or a rotfl! at the end – probably left it out by mistake.
I would like to think so, haha, thank you
2x the RAM for swap is only needed if a) you have little RAM and Linux will swap and/or b) you are going to need suspend to disk. If none of these applies and you have enough RAM (from 1GB and up) then 1 GB swap will be enough
