You'll have to have some kind of a boot system, although you COULD boot w/ a floppy.  If you do that, make at least 3 copies; they don't last forever.

if oyu mean a /boot partition, you might want a 5 MB one.

How about starting another thread; it's a pain in the ass to follow this one after you post.
All in favor?

On a drive that small I wouldn't create a /boot partition. Just make two parts, 128MB swap part being the first one on the drive, the rest would be "/".

He's right; what kernel and file system have you decided to use; I think you might as well stick with ext2 and the 2.2xx kernel; you can always apt-get a new kernel

The only thing I would be worried about is not having enough swap since he only has 64MB of RAM. That only totals up to 192MB.  Should be enough. If it's not you can always create a swap "file" and add it to the /etc/fstab.

I will start a new thread called "PRO-PROJECT CONTINUED"

i refuse to post in a new thread...
what about just a
/dev/hda1 90MB swap
/dev/hda2 /

and no separated partitions... or do we want to have separate partitions? Or have you already chosen?

[Sleeping Dog]

Oh please, MOR Bob....hit the new thread with us...we need your intelligent and thoughtful input.
