Hi Steven,

I meant to ask this quite some time ago. Very few --
if any -- of us would be running a system with more
than 2G of RAM. So, how large does this Trap Dump
Partition need to be ? (I'm assuming that it is
better to leave adequate "headroom", rather than risk
coming up short.) And, maybe more importantly, can it
be a shared partition with plenty of space on it, or
need it be for the exclusive use of the Trap Dump ? I
would not want to incur any risk of wiping out
*whatever else* may be stored on that partition, no
matter how large it is.
