Thanks Alfie, I'll try that. What size do you suggest for the swap
partition? As I said earlier, I'm gonna try to run X, so I guess
this is quite an important setting.
The small hd size poses another problem. The full UMSDOS install -
with all addons - takes up about 42 MB on my desktop (58 MB actually
occupied, on FAT32): I won't be able to follow your procedure if
I don't remove something. But if I do so, will I be able to install
addons later (from the laptop)? And, by the way, what are the best
candidates for permanent removal (ie. what will definitely crawl,
apart from X, in 4 MB + swap)?
Regards,
Luca
