Partitioning The Disk (preparing disk space screen)

You need to make some decisions here. Some Information about the Asus Eee 901:
/dev/sda is the 4GB onboard SSD
/dev/sdb is the internal removable SSD (8GB windows, 16GB Linux)
/dev/sdc is the SDHC/SD/MMC card if you have one in there
/dev/sdd is your USB Stick (if the SD slot is empty it's /dev/sdc)

I manually partitioned the eee. Here is the partition scheme I used:
/dev/sda1 is the entire 4GB section. I am mounting it as "/" and using ext2
/dev/sdb1 is 15002 MB of sdb. I am mounting it as "/home" and using ext2
/dev/sdb2 is the remaining 1135MB of sdb and is swap space. The swap space is large to allow for hibernation.
You can use ext2 to to lessen the number of writes to the SSD. Of course using a journaled files system is generally better
