- I have a Maxtor 7213 IDE drive (about 210 Mb formatted) which I have
- only one partition on. I have left about 15 Mb unstackered for files
- necessary for booting and for windows swap file. I have given the rest
- of the partition (about 195 Mb) to stacker and it produces now about
- 390 Mb space and the whole setup works just fine. I do not understand,
- why I shouldn't do it like this.
