ok, as in another post, when space is limitaed, go with either debian/*woody i would presume,*/ or a slackware install, have maybe a 400 meg / partiions
and a whole gig drive as /usr
then on the rest of the drive with 400 meg, mount the rest as /stuff and install in there
choasmaster:
those arn't exact numbers however

15 MB boot parition on the first drive at the beginning.
300MB swap at end of first drive?
the second drive only /usr (700MB) amd /home (300mb)?
I am by no means an exper on partitions. I didnt separate my redhat paritions, they are all under root expect for my boot partition.

if he'll be using an old box, he'll probably be using 2.x kernel.. Didn't the 2.2 kernel and below need the swap to be the second partion? So:
[hda1 /boot 15mb][hda2 /swap 300mb][hda3 690mb /home] [hdb2 rest /]
choasmaster:
nah, debian runs a 2.2 kernel right, and so does slackware. it doesn't matter i don't think as long as it knows where it is. thats the beauty of UN*X, it doesn't give a shit how the file/whatever is there, it just knows that it is there, this fact enables unix to do the kind of data plumbing that i have used it to do.

I'm running Woody with the 2.4.18 kernel, and ext3 file system, something I would suggest for the project; ext3 seems to be pretty stable, and theres a definite speed difference when you startup.
Sleeping Dog: My kids gave me a 7-CD-ROM set of Debian 3.0 for Fathers day: if you would like I could burn you a set; it means NO downloads- there's something like 6500 packages on the set. They were made from te ISO image of 6/10/02, so they're pretty current. If you're interested, let me know and we'll set something up.
