[jon cosby]

I want to create a fat32 partition for sharing files between xp and
linux. What is the minimum size this partition could be?

As per http://www.storagereview.com/guide2000/ref/hdd/file/partCluster.html

the minimum partition size for FAT32 is 512 MB.

A fairly decent explanation here:

No minimum, but you'd expect it would have to hold at least one cluster
