I presently have version 5.2.1 installed on another box. The one that I want to install on now has two hard drives. I would like to install everything except "USR" on one drive and "USR" on the other. That would seem to afford me the most advantageous use of disk space. It seems that I was always running low on disk space on the other unit I have in use. Both drives, by the way, are 10 GB in size. My question is how to go about this. This will be a fresh install with no other OS to be taken into consideration. I have checked the Hand Book, but I was not able to find exactly what I was looking for. Then again, I am not the most efficient searcher. Thanks! Gerard Seibert gerard-seibert@rcn.com "My girlfriend said to me in bed last night' 'you're a pervert'.
