Hi,
I am trying out linux after few months again (had to deinstall because of lack of hdd space). I have a lil few questions (mostly regarding size of partitioning as i cant waste space.
1) what should be the size of /boot partition, 50 mb or 100 mb or inbetween? I will use NTLDR to refer to GRUB.
2) I have 512 mb sdram (32mb shared) ; what should be the ideal /swap size?
3) I have 5.85 GB in total for linux partition ( root & swap) ; will that be sufficient for FC5 or should i seriously get more space?
4)Any guide what should i choose in a custom install in general?
5)I will be trying out FC5 (last time with old releases it didnt supported ntfs-after kernel recompile read only & buggy... have things changed inbetween? )
Thanks.
