Okay. Here's the situation. I've got 9gb free for Linux (Mandrake as it is). Is what I want to do this?

1. Create a Logical Ext2 Partition for the core Linux files. (8gb)
2. Create a Logical Swap Partition for the swap. (1gb)

What do you suggest for the space and everything? I've used Linux before but never actually set it up.
