First I install a Maintenance Partition and make sure all my drivers
work.

The I install my Production Partition which I then use every day.

Finally you need your floppy diskettes with the proper drivers.

I put all the apps and data on non-boot partitions. If a particular
directory tree is very large, I like to put it on a different
partition. There are pros and cons to doing this -- one big pro is it
makes backup a little more organized; one big con is that you need space
to grow on every partition and with multiple partitions you end up
"wasting" a little more disk space since you have it on each partition.
