on the least used drive is generaly sound advice.
On my Warp system, the swapper file is on drive 2,
as well as on a Windose95 system.
On the dos95 system I let the OS manage the size.
On the Warp system, I set it to what it uses, plus
a spare amount. If you set it too small, the system
may crash. OTOH setting it to one size speeds
things up a little.
On my 760XL 104Mb system, the swapper is on
the primary drive, but it is set to a size based on
trial and error.
