Hello,

Upon installing 1.3 I noticed that sysinst decided to create a 276MB
root partition on my Pentium system (128MB RAM). I assume it wants a large
root file system in case it needs to create a system dump (under 
/var/crash...), but 276MB really seems like overkill. Is it really 
necessary to have a root partition of that size with the memory that my 
machine has? 

Also, when I told sysinst to create file systems that would allow room 
for X Windows, sysinst wanted to create a 513MB swap file. Does anyone 
really have a system with a swap file that large (w/ only 128MB of 
physical memory)?? 

If anyone could explain to me how the size of these filesystems is 
calculated, I would appreciate it. Prior to installing 1.3, my 1.2.1 
system only had 64MB of swap, my root file system was only 40MB, I 
had lots of disk space for other applications, and I didn't have any 
problems with not having enough memory. 

Thanks,

Brian
