point taken...the machine is rather light: 48MB of EDO
RAM, 200mhz pentium classic and a 3GB hard disk (to be
used only as a firewall and wireless bridge)
my fdisk for the target disk (before) starting the
installation was
sda1 / 2920MB (bootable) ext3
sda2 swap ~80MB
being an old Solaris geek I still stay close to the 2
times RAM rule of thumb for swap.
I left his alone and all I did was under druiddisk I
set the target mountpoint for sda1. I had already run
mkswap on the swap partition.
