I have just got a 2.1 GB disc to upgrade (replace) my 230 MB disc.

The question is: is partitioning it to decrease the allocation block size worth
the hassle of not having a single resource into which to juggle my files?

What is your experience and advice.

I access news a lot, which uses a very variable amount of space, and I run
stuff from covermount discs, which currently I can only do if its runable from
the CD, but with more space I would be able to install and run stuff.  In other
words, I think my usage of space is quite variable.

Thanks
Tim Lyons.
