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
