- I want to partition my 200M disk as efficiently as possible, leaving
- just enuf room on C: to hold the OS/2 system. What is the magic number?
- I just ordered the DAP CD ROM, so I think I am about to re-install again.
-
- (In the most recent install [straight GA], we set it to 60 [with 140 as D:],
- and after installing and running for awhile, there is still 28M
- free on C: This is now essentially wasted space...)
