Memory Considerations

[Janina Sajka]

4gB is a bit tight if you intend to dual boot linux and Windows. If this 
is what you have to work with, do not install X as long as you intend to 
keep Windows. You'll need about 1gB for a full linux installation without 
X.

You can access anyfiles in fat or fat32 partitions from linux.
