Hi, I am in the process of readying my home machine for skipjack (latest redhat beta). It already has windows 98 loaded. The drive currently looks like: primary partition (c:) 3gb unallocated space 25gb extended partition (10gb) logical drive (d:) 10gb In the currently unallocated space I expect to place: swap (256mb) **I have 256mb ram, do I need swap?** /boot (100mb) / (512mb) I will split the remainder between /usr and /home or I could join /usr and slash if appropriate, does /var need to be in the first 4096mb/1024 cyls? What pitfalls await? How and where do I put lilo? How do I choose between windows and linux when booting? Do I always boot to windows and then lilo to linux? Clarification would be greatly appreciated! Oh yeah, and where in the initial config do I change the settings to have it operate properly. I have partition magic and so I can move the partitions if needed. Regards, Cecil Whitley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
