What is the difference between the frugal and full installation? What does the frugal installation exclude that the full installation includes?
Also, what partitions do I need? (This will be a single-boot, not a dual-boot, and it will be a fresh install.) I understand that there are several necessary partitions. One is the swap partition, which I understand must be type 0x82. Since I have 256 MB of RAM, I'm allocating 512 MB to it. From what I've read, I can make this a primary or logical partition. Under what circumstances should this be a primary partition, and under what circumstances should this be a logical partition? I understand that the swap partition can be anywhere on the disk but certain locations are more optimal (for speed) than others.
I understand that another partition I need is a boot partition. I understand that all boot partitions must be within the first 1024 sectors of the hard drive and a primary partition. I understand that for Linux, the type must be 0x83. But what size should a boot partition be? Is it supposed to occupy the rest of the hard drive?
Do I need additional partitions? If so, where should they be located, should they be primary or logical, and what size should they be?
