Hey, it is not fun if the second HD is not mixed ;-) so of course I want=20=
some HFS+ on it !

Yep I thought about it ten minutes ago and... forgot it the minute=20
later ! thanks for
remembering me this. I'll try it now.

Yep : 32 Mo for an HFS+ boot partition (can't be smaller : 40Go HD !)
512 Mo for / : isn't it too big ?
384 Mo of swap (256 Mo of RAM)
7 Go for /usr
the rest (~30 Go) for HFS+
do you think it's a correct partition scheme ?
