Many thanks to everyone who replied to my question about swap file sizes. Now I have another concern.
I have an 80GB hard drive with one partition containing windows XP and formatted NTFS. I plan to use Partitionmagic 7.0 to shrink this partition to 40GB thus leaving me 40GB to install LM 8.2. However the PM manual containds dire warnings about a linux bootable partition needing to be below the 1024 cylinder (8GB) boundary. Is this still a problem with LM 8.2 and if so what would be the best way round it. Note my previous nmachine only had a 8GB disk and so I had no problems with Win 98 and LM 8.0. Thanks in advance petew
