A 4GB disk. I suspect that a n00b wouldn't dream of trying to use a disk that small. I suspect that he wouldn't even know that disks that small exist(ed). Using such a small disk is something for an expert, in which case said expert would do the expert install and first allocate space for swap and the rest as one file system. That method would probably yield the desired results. -- Gary Jennejohn
