Need help on the quick start guide



   The quick start guide is coming along nicely, but I have a few
questions, confirmations, and a few requests.  A few more days, and I
will post it for approval... <or scorn, whichever is merited :-)  >

   First, I need screen shots of the setup process!  Disk Druid is the
most needed, but anything you have, and pointers to and web sites.  I
have NOTHING but badly scanned pictures out of books. :-)

   I need some minimums and maximums on partitions.  Fill in the blanks
and correct as needed.  Swap is required?  Can range from ?? to 127 meg.
<126 in fdisk due to translation problems>  You can have a maximum of ??
swap files.  <I have seen two answers to this...>  You must have a /
partition.  It can be as small as ?? and as large as 500 meg.  These are
the only REQUIRED partitions.  RECOMMENDED partitions are /home for home
directories of users, and /usr/local for local system applications.
/usr/local should be from 100 meg up depending on the amount of apps...
/home should be the rest of the drive.

   On the screen "Start the following processes on boot" does anyone
have a simple one line list of what is what?  Just the basics...

   Once booted, I am going to switch into KDE and walk through adding a
user, a printer, and configuring the NIC, or KPPP.  What is an easy way
to take screenshots in KDE?  <I know, it is a simple question, but I
can't get XV to work...  I feel so silly>

			TIA,
