YDL 2.3 Partition size issues ?

[Jerry S.]

Hello Michael,

  I don't know of any problems.  I just replaced the HD in my iBook
  (blueberry) with a 10gig IBM.  Partitioned as:
  boot  10MB
  swap  320MB
  root  9gig
  Everything has been running just fine.  My iBook has 160MB Ram, but
  that shouldn't make any difference.
