I'm interested to discuss what are the consideration in making the
decisions how to allocate and define logical drives, which sizes and for
what purposes.
I'm buying a hard disk, 8.4 Gb, and Win98, and I wish to install it there.
For example , in Linux, it is recopmmended to use a dedicated logical
drive for the swap files, and I think that it is wise.
I thought of putting the basic Win98 installation, and the temporary
directory on drive C: (say, 1Gb), and not to use it for anything else.
I would consider a second 1Gb logical drive for the swap files and for
temporary usage for CD burning (this temporary usage is limited by
nature to 750Mb). Should I seperate also these two?
All applications and files would be put on other drives.
Is it a reasonable division?
What other consideration I should make?
Does Win98 allows me to put the swap files on a seperate drive? or the
temporary directory on a seperate drive?
