Dear Jun

I didn't want to have simple suggestions on the proper space
alocation for the OSs I want to use, for this is essentialy
depends on the volume of programs and files you want to use
plus the space required for the OS itself, which is usually
easy to assess. Rather I want you and other guys to let me
know the way to keep Win 98 and Win 95a WHICH USE 2 PRIMARY
PARTITIONS EACH, and Linux WHICH REQUIRES 2 PRIMARY PARITION
FOR THE SWAP AND LINUX FILES SEPARATELY, TOGETHER WITH AN
EXTENDED PARTITION WHICH HOLDS MY LOGICAL PARTITIONS, (i.e.
5 partitions and greater than the limited DOS partitions
which is 4) by or without the help of System Commander or
any oyher similar utility.

Best Regards,
Babak Aghaei.
