Alright, well I decided to put my swap of 1 gig and the /home on one
drive. The other one has one partition for /boot (128 megs) and the
rest to the root filesystem. I formatted the /boot partition with ext2
(I think I could've used ext3 too but I wanted to be safe) and the
other partitions were formatted with XFS. System is compiling
now....and compiling...and compiling...
