He says little about the second CD, "Live File System" and what needs to be done about it. Any good advice as to just what and how the second CD is used for? Also, I am doing the install on 4GB HD and someone said use 256MB for root, 512MB swap, 256MB for /var and /tmp and the rest of the space for /usr? This is almost the install default as Lehey says use far more for the root so as not to run out of space. Thanks Harry
