In reality the boot volume can be much smaller than 1GB. If one moves the
swap, spool, TMP, ecSMT directories etc. to a data volume, the boot
partition footprint is less under 500MB and performance improves by more
than one might expect.

The eCS recommendation is aimed at not confusing Windows users trying to
install eCS for the first time. Seasoned OS/2 users can get much better
performance with a few simple tweaks.

Regards,

Steven
