   20mb is adequate for /boot.  I have 5gigs for Mandrake also, the
7.0 install set up 140mb swap, 40 for /boot, and all the rest in /
During 7.1 install, I just kept the same sizes, but I'm pretty sure
it lets you decide what sizes you want.  I use 40 for /boot so I
can save kernel source and headers there.
