For the first time in umpteen years, I need to make a bootable 7th Edition system disk on an RL02 that previously had some other O/S on it. This disk has to have the swap space, as well. The machine it will be used on has 256K bytes RAM. How many blocks should I leave for swap? Or, to put it another way, what magic number pair would people suggest I put in the prototype file for the number of blocks and number of inodes? -- Pete Peter Turnbull Dept. of Computer Science University of York
