Hello All, from The Other
Dennis, the CDs arrived. Thank you.

package failed to install each time. Same results with the replacement

You're right about a messy defrag with this option
on.
What I do is run "Defrag" in "Safe Mode" and leave
the checks in place. But, before defragging, I run
"Scan Disk" and then right after defragging, I run
"Scan Disk" again. (the old BELT and SUSPENDERS
philosophy).
Then, I use "Partitio
Yes, that's the one! It will screw things up entirely.

Do you mean deselect:
"Rearrange program files so my programs start faster" ?
My defragger doesn't have anything about "optimizing

One other note to this - yes, run the defragger, but ensure you have
deselected the option to "place data and programs to optimize
performance" - something similar to that anyway - at least in 98. If you
defrag with this on, Mr. Gates will stick a whole lost of stuff at the
very end of your partit

I suggest you make 3. One for root, one for /home, and one for swap. The swap
file is small, about 128 MB should do depending on how much RAM you have.

Hi *!*@*.*
IIRC Mandrake 7.0 creates four different partitions when you click on auto

7.1 auto allocates only /, /home and swap (which is sometimes bigger than
128 MB - I read somewhere that this is the limit for swap partition).

Thanks. I've really never thought of a seperate boot partition, but that can
make life alot easier. How big should a boot partition be? I'm assuming 100
megs will be enough, but if not could someone let me know.
