Swap depends on how much memory you have in your system. A general rule is twice as much swap space as memory. So if you have 64MB of memory, allocate 128 for swap, 256 MB RAM - 512MB swap. If you only have 64 now and expect to add more later, it doesn't hurt to make swap big (256 or more ) now. You can add to swap in the future by using a file on another partition for swap, so getting it correct now isn't as big a deal. Then use the rest for the root partition /. Don
