disk erase of dual boot system

[Geoffrey Bays]

Eberhard:

I do intend for the new 8.10 install to take up the entire disk. Does
the installer by default set up two or three partitions?
Swap plus one or swap plus two?
I suspect the defaults will do fine, but then I have never attempted
to optimize the partitions myself.

Regards,

Geoffrey
