I would give the swap file it's own drive, and 21/2 times RAM is usually
more than enough.  I'd also manage it yourself, and set it's Min and Max
value to the same value.  It speeds things up a bit and reduces the risk of
corruption if the swap file isn't constantly resizing.

You can install IE4 to a different drive, but a very large number of files
will go on your Windows drive anyway.

There should be some things we don't name.  Just so we can sit around all
day and wonder what they are.

I just recently had one of my computors destroyed in a fire. Now that I'm
to
the point that I will be installing the OS and associated programs, I was
curious as to what size of logical drive I should create for W95.
Previously
I was using 350 mb. I also read somewhere that the swap file for W95 is
best
if it is on a drive by itself and that it needs to be 2 to 2 1/2 times the
amount of physical ram. I am currently running 64 megs of ram. I install
all
my programs onto a differnet drive than the drive the OS is on.
One other question concerning IE4, does it give you the option of
installing
to a differnet drive other than the drive with W95 since, from what I
understand, it is heavily tied into the W95 OS. I have both my Netscape and
AOL on seperate logical drives.
