To install everything on the redhat 6.0 CD you will probably need about
1.5gig of space just for the software. You should have at least three
partitions:

> make a partition about 1.5 gig  (mount point being /)

the /boot partition holds your Kernel and other important operating system
stuff
the / partition holds everything else
you generally want to keep them on seperate partitions to make sure you can
always boot the computer.

I have had up to 5 or 6 partitions just for Linux, but the partitioning
scheme above works fine for learning Linux
