21. Appendix A: Partitioning Layout Table: Mounting and Linking

The following table is designed to make layout a simpler paper and pencil exercise. It is probably best to print it out (using NON PROPORTIONAL fonts) and adjust the numbers until you are happy with them.

Mount point is what directory you wish to mount a partition on or the actual device. This is also a good place to note how you plan to use symbolic links.

The size given corresponds to a fairly big Debian 1.2.6 installation. Other examples are coming later.

Mainly you use this table to select what structure and drives you will use, the partition numbers and letters will come from the next two tables.
