Libranet suggests a minimum swap partition of 64 mb, with 128 or 256
recommended.
I suggest you put your Libranet on one drive, (KISS principle), but
create an extra partition
on another drive where you can keep a copy of your /home.  You might
also want to plan on a second Libranet installation
as a "lab rat" where you can test updates.

If you have win XP or another NTFS OS, create an extra vfat partition so
you can write from Linux and read from win.
BTW use the Libranet default - Reiser FS.  It works just fine.
