Thanks to all of you for your generous help getting me started.
I am ignorant now about all of this, but in a short while I will be a novice!
I was almost there with the installation and backed out with this question:
Where it was going to partition the SWAP file it had a check box for
Create a New Partition [ ] Primary or [ ] Logical.
I figured I should put Primary, but thought I had better ask.
And would I select Primary on each partition created?
(also I freed up another 5GB for the installation and I would like to know where that would best be fitted below? In the SWAP partition maybe?)
I now have 49.15 GB available.
I have 4MG of RAM
So I have this scenario in mind:
SWAP: 8MB (8192)
/ext4: 20MB (20480)
/boot 1.5MB (1536)
/usr 1.5MB (1536)
/var 1.5MB (1536)
/tmp 1.5MB (1536)
/home 1.5MB (1536)
Does this sound good?
I think this is some fantatic stuff and I am anxious!
Thanks a lot for all of your help!!!
