OK so I have decided to go back to square one and start again. I've 
wiped my Hard drive and am going to re-do the installation. Every time 
I do this (I've done it a couple of times already) I learn something 
else :-)

So a question that came up last time was how big should I make my 
partitions, and which ones?

I have (free thanks to workplace re-cycling :-) 1Gb of ram. I 
understood the swap partition should be the same as the ram, but the 
default was 128Mb last time. Should I change that?

To recap, I have a dual 200MHz Pentium Pro Tyan m/b, with 1Gb of ram, 
and three 9Gb SCSI disks hanging off a Buslogic PCI card. So far I have 
only used one of the disks on my previous installation (just learning). 
Any recommendations of how best to use my three disks?

The object is to maximise the performance of this old hardware, and end 
up with a workstation to practice C programing on.

Thanks!

John
