Hi,
I had a question about partitions.. can yellowdog users partition HD's
in the same way as suggested on the slackware site ?

It is also a good idea to make seperate partitions for /, /home, and /usr. People
will tell you many things about how to divide up your disk, but it really comes down to what you want. There are many good reasons to breaking it up into /, /home, and /usr. For example: Home directories are always on their own partition and you can upgrade the distribution without having to backup the home directories.
/usr is where software goes, so you can keep that whenever you upgrade
distributions. The root directory should really remain untouched, except for the modified files in /etc and root's home directory.
Others may tell you that you must have a seperate /var partition so log files wo
