In your situation, I would have 21MB swap (to give you just fractionally more swap than you have RAM), and not bother splitting the other partitions up - ie just have a / partition and a swap partition. On such a disk space constrained system, the loss of useable space introduced by splitting the partitions up is a major PITA. You might be able to get XFree86 up on this machine with some surgery, but I'd advise not even thinking about Netscape or any other X based browser - they just demand to much disk space and memory. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."
