On or two other things - If you have a SCSI disk (luxury), they will be called sda1,2,3,... instead. Also, IMHO and according to Linux setup docs, it is preferable to make a further partition for Swap, of about 2-3x actual memory installed & not less than cca 25Mb. If you have it spare that is. Put the swap on the *fastest* hdd & interface you have for max performance. > hda is primary master > hdb is primary slave > hdc is secondary master > hdd is secondary slave > The numbers are the partitions. (where 1-4 are primary partitions, and 5- > are extended) > So if the linux partition is the 2. partition (extended) on your primary > master IDE, than it should be hda5. What to do with it???
