What are the minimum and "suggested" sizes for the required 'partition map' and
'bootstrap map' partitions as mentioned below in the RELEASE NOTES ??
Are either of these two partitions similar to the /boot partition for PC's
(thus requiring approx 15-20MB for grub/lilo plus various linuz kernels) ??
Can probably estimate the "normal linux-partition" based upon Slackware SETUP's
suggestion for /root, or /root plus /home....
Does the swap partition follow the same rule-of-thumb of 1.5 X RAM similar to
Mac OS X ??
TY for recommendations on this!
From the Slackintosh 12.0 RELEASE NOTES

After the system is done booting, login as root (no password) and
run 'mac-fdisk /dev/your_harddrive' if you need to create
partitions.
-> You need a 'partition map' (hit 'i' if you don't have one)
-> You need a 'bootstrap partition (hit 'b' to create one)
-> You need a normal linux-partition, hit 'c' to create a newone
-> A swap partition is recommended. Create a new partition
using 'c' and calling it 'swap'
