    What is the importance of so many partitions? Would it not waste space if nothing is added to certain partitions?

    I can see setting up a partition for backing up purposes.

    What are the other advantages or limits to so many paritions?

    I just removed debian and thought I would install slackware. Ive heard only good about it. I have 20 gb to spare.

    What do you think about:
    /boot 500 mb
    /swap 1gb
    / the rest
    Any suggestions?
