New to linux on laptops - A few Q's

1999-09-16 Thread CHRIS HOOVER
I've been running linux for several years now, and was just given an older laptop and I've decided to put linux on it. The laptop is a NEC Versa (I think it is an ultralight, but not sure). Anyway, it has 20 megs of mem and a ~520meg drive. I've set the hd up with a 4 meg /boot and 64 meg swap.
