I presented a previous partitioning for group review, and someone (sorry
I've forgotten who) gave me several suggestions, which mostly got me to
use all of the primary partitions before using logical partitions.  That
has worked out well.

I had a friend do the d/l.  I'm running a 56K modem that took a
lightning hit, but is not totally crippled, and runs at most 33666K, so
I could not do a d/l myself at all.

I had been running 9.3 since it was available.  It ran well, gave me
little grief, but I thought I'd upgrade to 10.1.  There were certain
problems with my 9.3 which had to do with some partition sizes, so I did
a fresh installation instead of an upgrade.  If you have no need to
re-arrange your partition, then do the upgrade.  I'm mostly satisfied
with 10.1, yet there are certain things that I cannot seem to get to
work, and that has mostly to do with online updates.
