Hi there,

I'm going to have a spare 1.2G hdd for me to try Linux on my box a week
later, however, I'm new to it. I'd like to know what's the optimum disk
size for me to install Linux? Coz I'd like to install both Win95 & Linux
on that spare HDD, I don't know how should I partition it.

Would a 5/600M partition be enough for Linux plus the X-Windows system?

Additional informations of my box:
P166/48M 

Thanks!

Chris
