I run some very happy systems off of 250 meg partitions.. Maybe I missed something about partitioning on his system? I was under the impression that 15 megs was the minimal install binary stuff, making the min really around 50 megs or something? ---- Robert Watson (rnw+@andrew.cmu.edu) * Double major: IDS/CS * H&SS http://www.watson.org/ robert@fledge.watson.org
