The stuff you need to play with it fits in 100 MB, but you need more for a "full" installation (wow :). "full" means what we have, not what we will have when we are ready (when we are ready, you will need 2 GB for a full installation, but that's far away...) > Should I create a swap partition for it or could i use the GNU/Linux > swap partition ? You can use the Linux swap partition. > Need I to create an additional partition to get dual OS working - with > vmware !? Mmmh. VM Ware usually works with virtual fs which places the disk storage inside a file of your Linux filesystem. If you have lots of space in your home directory, then you don't need a sepera^te partition at all. But I don't recommend vm ware for two reasons: It is very slow, and it's non-free. The advantage is that you don't need to reboot, and that you can be sure that the hardware detection works. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
