Partitioning question
I would like to ask you how you usually setup your partitioning. I was a little bit confused on it, for you at least need a mounting point of root. This is how I did it, but I'm not sure if it's how it should be done. I set one partition for about 3/4 of the drive as '/'. I thought that would cover my separate
