I not that you have no "home" partition. I know this is not what is recommended by the Linux people. It is a good idea to keep every user's files separate in its own directory/partition. This way important files have the least chance of corruptedness if the system is rebuilt and backup or mirroringis easier. As a matter of fact it is recommended that most stuff go on the home partition and the root partition be the small one.

I am not the expert on this but you really should read some literature on this. there is plenty available and on the net in the LUGS or linus user's groups.

I still am mist a fyed as to your need to be hdc and hdc5 at that. Can you tell me the physical layout of your computer? Are you on the third physical drive with Linux and in the 5th partition?
