I'm going to do a fresh install of Mandrake 8.1 on a dual boot system with WinXP. I've read that making a 7mg /boot partition makes it easy to use the Windows boot.ini file to choose operating systems. I also now have 512mg of ram. Does the 2x rule still apply for the swap partition? This seams like overkill (and a waste of drive space). In the past I've been using a 4.5gb / & a 3.0gb /home. How does this sound? This is just a home machine with no server duties. Thanks
