Fine Details needed for partitioning & mounts in a legacy laptop with WinXP32 on

[Wombat66]

Gold Finger :
I am posting what you requested below .  I do not want extra space for Windows as in fact I will gradually migrate most of the data in the full up drive to another computer and perhaps will rarely rely on Windows .
My decision is to have the virtually empty drive entirely for Linux and I wonder if 1 Ggb for Linux Swap is OK or if I could boost my RAM effectiveness by having more for Linux Swap.
