Thanks Arron and Nick. I thought I had seen something like that
somewhere before and I have always used 2GB (I have 2GB RAM) but I
wasn't sure if that was in general use. Right now I have a "/" with
23.8GB and 7.3 is used. I wasn't sure if I needed a "/" as large as 23
GB or not. I don't know how fast it fills up if I have "/home" as a
separate drive.<br>
Thanks again<br>

The swap partition usually only needs around 250mb (if that), from what<br>
I understand. Heck, I've gotten away with no swap partition, but it's<br>
probably not a good idea from a performance standpoint.<br>
