Sorry to be so chatty today, but... I'm in the process of installing 1.4.1
on my 5000/200. I tried installing to rz0 (a seagate 412000, I think) and
got an error on the newfs (I'm not positive it's a good disk). Anyway, I
went ahead and started the install on rz1, a Micropolis 3.5G disk. So far
so good, but in taking the default 'everything + X' partitions, it gave me
a 480 MB swapfile! (this machine has 120 MB).
That seems excessive to me. What algorithm does sysinst use to determine
these things?
