pre-install questions: linux partitioning
#1
hello All,

I am planning to build a media center box running XBMC on Ubuntu Karmic.

On a standard desktop I'd do a manual partitioning such as:
/ 20GB
swap 4GB
/home 220GB

but here I do not know where the files will be stored.

Does the "user" xbmc stores files in her home?
or they are stored elsewhere?

thanks for your time,
-G

swap = RAM size
/home is where all users store their files, including xbmc
/ will be system and all applications (20gb is more than enough, but better safe than sorry) Smile
