1. yeah, you can leave ME on there...
2. i am not too familiar with mandrake, haven't used since 7.0 but it does come with a tool to shrink your existing partition to repartition for mandrake use. don't know how good it is or successful it is, just backup before installing and make sure you defrag your drive too..
with 512 megs or ram, 100 megs should do fine.. i usually make my swap no more than 100 megs which is never hardly used.
