13 why reiserfs on boot?
14 why 100mb boot?
15
16 10mb boot/ext2 are way enough.
17 And since /boot is never mounted except when installing a new kernel,
18 journaling is just overkill.
19 Or 500mb swap - you can reduce it to 0 and use a swapfile.
20 swapfiles are not necessary slower than swappartitions, with 2.6 kernels.
