But I am not sure what the best way to partition > those drives, any recommendations there? Do not put two harddrives on the same IDE channel. But I suspect you already have something on the second channel (CD-ROM) so my suggestion is to get out and get a PCI IDE controller (Promise, Maxtor, Whatever) and connect your 80gigger to that controller. Also put your system directories (/ /usr /var) on the 20 gigger and backup them regularly onto a partition on the 80 gigger.
