Hi folks,
Feels nice in ilug-bom
:)
A few thoughts from my experience.
There is an excellent shareware partitioner
available at http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish/part.
It provides *power* with an easy interface. A word of warning
though, **save your MBR before partitioning**.
For dual boot systems dont install LILO into MBR,
linuxroot is safer. And always keep a boot floppy handy :-)
For swap space calculation , its RAM*2 for
less than 32 MB physical RAM : more than that and 64 MB swap should be enough,
although for specialised requirements the formula changes. With a swap of 64 MB
try "df" in a virtual console while running the app. and if usage of swp is more
than say 70-80% then increase swap in steps of 16MB. A usage of 50% is ok. RH
6.1 (and lesser) can be installed without swap!
Sincerely,
Vinil
