## Partitions

Concerning partitions, you'd better follow the suggestions on the RedHat manual. Here below you'll find an example; this doesn't mean that these partitions represent the result of a deep study of the problem nor any kind of optimised configuration.
You can use either Disk Druid or fdisk as partitioning tool; as I read about some problems using Disk Druid, I preferred using fdisk, even if the first one may be more easy to use. Always carefully follow the instructions on the manual.
I've used a 3.0Gb harddisk, 746 cylinders, I created 4 partitions. The partition table is shown in table 2.

If you want to let normal no-root user to mount floppy disks, edit `/etc/fstab`: the floppy disk related line should look like this:

    	   /dev/fd0     /mnt/floppy     ext2     noauto,user  0 0

the same applies for the CD. A better way is to use the utility cabaret.
