there was too much on large drives and partition sizing
way back on the list, check out at the archives for
details,
now if you need to give separate /boot,
it should be 20 to 50 mb
having a / with 2 to 3 gb would suit you good
gckumar on the list have done
Win ME, Win 2K Server, RHL 6.2, Suse 6.3 & Oracle 8i, Mandrake 7.0
Debian 2.2 Potato on a PIII 450/64MB with IBM 17 GB hdd.
