I have a 486 DX33 with 12Mb RAM and 420 Mb HDD with Redhat 7.0 installed, no
worries and it works quite well.

I have also just installed Redhat 7.3 (It was a dream to install - no probs
at all) on a Pentium 200MHz with 256 Mb RAM and a 10Gb HDD (5Gb for Linux
and 5Gb for that other piece of c**p from M/soft).

Partition Tables as follows :

C:\     1506 Mb  For Windows     (Primary) 
/       305 Mb                   (Primary) 
/usr    4,000 Mb                 (Logical)                     
/var    251 Mb                   (Logical)                     
/home   400 Mb                   (Logical)                     
swap    203 Mb                   (Logical)                     
D:\     Windows and DOS software (Logical)                     
E:\     File storage area        (Logical)                     
F:\     Windows and DOS software (Logical)                     


I am currently installing Redhat 7.3 on Pentium II - 450 MHz with 256 Mb RAM
and 30 Gb HDD - the Linux partitioning is set out the same as above but the
DOS partitions are much larger.

The partitions on all PC's were created with use of Partition Magic version
5 - Prior to installing both Windows amd Linux.

Everything seems to be working OK.

I would appreciate any supportive comments from any interested person.

Cheers.
