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.
I have the same arrangement. Hda for windows, hdb for linux and hda for
windows. I also have 8 gig of hdb for windows but it wont see it because it
comes after a linux partition.

Mandrake 7.1 and 7.2 uses GRUB instead of LILO by default. GRUB and newer
versions of LILO do not have a 1024 cylinder limit, so you can boot from just
about anywhere on the disc.
You have to be careful when making a partition just for the OS. With Linux,
there are few problems, if any. But Wi

Or, if putting the bulk of the OS within the first 8 gig is not an option,
put a 20 meg partition at the very front of the HD and run the
installation discs...lilo will automatically be installed there...

Easy, install Mandrake so that the boot partition is well within the first
8 gigs off your harddrive. My situation with my 19 gig drives is
first 6 gigs win2k
next 3 gis mandrake
last 10 gigs windows(media partition)
