More mainstream . . .

I may be in the minority here but with at drive that small, Id make a 
64 mb swap and use the rest as /

Ok, since I have this one Linux box I chuffed with the network card
install, I decided to load RH 6.2 on it and go from there.   I 
*thought* I
had selected to upgrade an existing installation, but evidently that is
just upgrading from 6.1 to more features on 6.1. . . . right?   It
installed a bunch of stuff from the 6.2 CD, but now my machine is 
locked up
past the Lilo prompt.   I think I'll just wack the drive and start over.
*SIGH*

This leads me to the next question -- what's the best way to partition a
drive?  How much do I need for / and /usr and that????  That's the first
"Oh my gosh" thin I run into.   The drive in there is like a 400+MB 
model .
. . it's small, but this drive will only be to run Linux, networking, 
and
enough stuff for decoding MP3's and playing CD's.    I'll stick a 10gig
(hopefully???) in as drive 2.    Any suggestions???
