Fedora 3 Newboe

[Juan Shen]

 From the Unix guys suggestion, swap partition or /boot partition should 
put first (near the center of HD).  Then /tmp an /var partition and / 
partition ( a large slice ) the last one.
As to now, I recognize it is a good suggestion for Linux guys 
referencing.  Depart /tmp and /var from /.
