I have a handful of small drives (1-4 g) that I'm going to do ... something with. (probably a dialup firewall/browser/mp3 thing so I can ditch zonealarm) assuming I can put 3 on the ide ports (w/cdrom) what is a sensible installation/partitioning strategy? (and what needs to be on the root partition/drive?) I can throw something larger in there if I have to. (I found out the hard way with FreeBSD that /usr needs a ton of space for packages). and I'm sort leaning on having /home on it's own so I can easily swap it into something else (can i format/mount that as UFS?) and what about having swap space on it's own partition? Where/what has the potential for the most "growth"? thanks, -- Ron Mansolino RMsolino@netaxs.com http://www.netaxs.com/~rmsolino/ ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
