Hi Kunal,
For LBA: "Auto" option will go.
For swap:
It is always recomended that swap partition should be double the size of your RAM. It is not mandatory. However presently you can choose 512 MB and latter (when you update your system) you can increase the size of your partition. If this is the case please make a prior planning of your hard disk lay out.
Regards, Dev.

HI
In the recent mails in the mailing list, I have learned about the problem of installing Fedora Core 2 on a dual boot system since it changes the Partition Format from LBA to CHS.
The solution suggested by someone was to manually select LBA option for the hard disk from the BIOS.
I have Intel D865GBF Original motherboard with Seagate 80GB SATA Hard Disk.
In the BIOS settings, if I select the HDD to Auto mode,
the BIOS takes LBA Support as Enabled.
If I select User Mode,
then the BIOS gives me the options to set LBA Mode to either "Disabled" or "Auto"
What should I do now?
Should I keep it to Auto and proceed with the Installation or still wait for Fedora to patch the problem.
Secondly, I wanted to know about swap space allocation. I have read that the swap space should normally be twice the size of RAM. I currently have 256 MB RAM, so i have a swap partition of 512MB. But I am planning to upgrade to 1 GB Ram. What swap space should I Allocate Now?? Should it be 2 GB or less?
Thanks in advance to everyone who helps me out.
Kunal
