8GB install partition sizes
I have an 8 GB drive and am wanting to install arch just to play around and do some learning on it. What size partitions would everybody recommend and what partitions are needed/not needed?

Re: 8GB install partition sizes
If you just want to play around, a single partition will do.
Well, other than that. This is how I would partition my 8GB drive.
/boot 100MB
swap 256MB (Could incease or omit base on RAM)
/ 3 GB
/home All that left.
Well, if there's no important data, I won't create a separate /home partition.

Re: 8GB install partition sizes
If I don't create a separate /home partition, does it just go on the / partition?
