I'm figuring that I'll need about 15-30MB of swap (from previous >experience with X-Windows), so that cuts a 100MB drive to 70-85MB. The current beta release takes up *about* 70Meg if you install everything, and right now you have to install everything. In the future it will be possible to leave out parts you don't want. 15Meg of swap is enough for one user running X. You can always create a disk file and swap to it too if you find your swap partition was made too small. -=] Ford [=- "The number of Unix installations (In Real Life: Mike Ditto) has grown to 10, with more expected." ditto@amix.commodore.com - The Unix Programmer's Manual, uunet!cbmvax!ditto 2nd Edition, June, 1972. ford@kenobi.commodore.com
