What is the recommended configuration for Sorcerer ?
There is no BEST configuration for Sorcerer, even long time users agree on this. However we do recommend the following; Make the first couple or so cylinders of your hard drive an ext2 partition mounted as /boot Use the remainder for your / partition with whatever file system suits you (that is supported by Sorcerer). Most users use either reiserfs or ext3 and use a SWAPFILE instead of a swap partition. Most important is that the swap + ram equal at least 1gB. Do not use less swap, as your ability to compile programs will be affected.
