- Due to a few questions I got regarding some more info I'm reposting
- the question with some more info:
-
- I'm using the 2nd partition on my first hard-disk as the root
- device (/dev/hda2). The disk is a 120MB Maxtor IDE one (Maxtor
- 7149 if I'm not mistaken). The computer is a 486DX/33 with
- 4MB of RAM.
