Thanks to all who responded to my previous posting on the double login bug.

I'm now looking to modify disk partitioning on our 2 DS2100 machines,
which have a 330MB disk each (RZ55). The standard installation
procedure allocates about 65MB of swap space, which is very large compared
to the disk size. Our applications for sure do not require so much
memory, but I have little experience on how memory-consuming can be
standard Xwindows applications (xterm, xdvi) and Ultrix compilers.
Any advise ? Here are the current partitions.

# chpt -q /dev/rrz0a
/dev/rrz0a
Current partition table:
partition     bottom        top       size    overlap
    a              0      32767      32768    c,h
    b          32768     163839     131072    c
    c              0     649039     649040    a,b,d,e,f,g,h
    d         163840     316285     152446    c,g
    e         316286     468731     152446    c,g
    f         468732     649039     180308    c,g

    h              0          0          0    a,c
