	Hi all,

I have just my new Dell inspiron 5150 and installed
XP and all the MS dev suite (.net,..) on a 25 GB partition of
my 60GB HDD.

Now I want to install FC1 in dual boot on the rest (35GB) and
before to do that, I have a few questions to ask in order to avoid
to crash my XP installation.

So my first question concerns partionning in FC1. Is the following
scheme seems correct:
/root: 50MB
/swap: 1GB (I have 512MB DDR)
/:the rest (about 34GB).

And particulary the size of the / partition: is it possible to use
34GB or I have to limit it to some limit (as I read in RH, about 5GB)?

Once that issue is solved, I will come back with other questions regarding
the drivers and kernel recompilation.
