hi, generally you want /home to be the largest partition. At least in my
case.
My Red Hat os is on a 40 gb, and I gave 5 gb for installs, about 256 mb for
swap, and the rest was my home partition.

I figured I could load my home partition with downloadds, books, mp3 files,
etc. What is nice about splitting home away from the rest is you can
reinstall or upgrade without trashing your data, personally settings, etc. I
reinstalled Mandrake 8.2 and wonder of wonders Gnome came up with the same
settings I had before blowing away the files, and reinstalled. All because I
left /home alone.

Ok, well I've got about 10gb free, so I would assume that should be enough.

Hi Thomas,

Since Win4Lin requires use of the GUI under Linux, it would not presently be
accessible until a screen reader like Gnupernicus is ready for primetime.

Thanks.

Re: Win4Lin Demo.

[Thomas D. Ward]

Hi, I know that it works with the gui, and that Gno[pernicus is required 
to use it. I actually said, "how accessible it will be."

I am going to rebuilding my copy of Gnopernicus this week, and have plans 
to test Win4Lin, although the results will probably be inacurate 
conciddering Gnopernicus is vary much unstable and far from completed 
software.
