I know that this may be a dumb question, but I can't find the answer in
any of the FAQ's or HOWTOS that I have.

I have a 1 gig SCSI hd. My question is this: how do I partition my
harddrive so that I have a swap partition, a native partition and the
remaining for a user partition? Any suggestions?
THANKS

You should still use the Instalation.HOW-TO as a guide. But the easiest
for me was to make the first 16MB of my HD a linux swap. I made the rest
of the drive (316 MB) a linux native partition for everything else. But,
for what you want, just decide how big you want /usr to be & make 2 linux
native partitions. THat would be 3 partitions total. One swap and 2 native.
The how-to really explains the mechanics very well...
