Hi
I just read this:
< http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-hd-install.htm >

and was wondering if the 200-300mb partition is the maximum recommended partition size ? im not putting DSM on antique hardware and was going to have a swap partiton and another partition of about 15 gb for everything else, will this be ok ?

thanks
Ric

Since you want to install DamnSmall Linux I advice you not to create a small partition. You may wish, later, you had created bigger partitions.

i have a really old toshiba t3400ct with a approx 120 drive... is this big enough, and how do i partition it for DSL? also, what are my options considering it only has a floppy, serial, printer and pcima ports? thanks! -tnf
