Are you saying that there is a seperate kernel for each partition?
What about swap space? Do I really need it? I thought I read somewhere that it
should be 2.5 times the amount of ram.
Thx

That depends on what other partitions you create, simply 5 - 15 meg
is not enought if you only define one partition as / one as /usr and
one as /home.
My / is 500mb ;
/dev/hda1 497667 95702 376263 20% /
/dev/hda2 1492343 816297 598934 58% /usr
/dev/hdb1 1492311 488629 926572 35% /usr/src
/dev/hdb2 1492343 459614 955617 32% /home
Imagen having 15 kernels as i do, rather a lot yes, but some have
even more, 30 is the limit for lilo, a normal kernel is 400+ doing a
du -b in mt /boot dir results in 7792640 /boot, tht boot alone.
I would advise something like 300 to 500 meg for / and the rest for
/usr on a singel user machine, which miine is not.
