I will also be installing Samba on this system. This system will be a Intel Celeron 400 MHz with 64 MB Ram. I will also be installing the Apache fp1.3 server extensions, X, and various networking apps. I am wondering how I should best partition this drive (/swap, /var, and /usr partitions). This system will also be a dual hommed gateway to allow my other computers internet access via a cable modem. What is the maximum partition size allowed by 3.2 Release. My ultimate goal is to make the samba partitions available for networked applications for a series of visual fox 5.0 applications that I have developed, and now currently run on Novell and Windows NT servers. Thanks in advance. Charles To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
