Thanks in advance for any help. My 486/33 looks like this. X, games, /compat, and /usr/share are served off my P120 server. Swap on this machine is 43 MB backing 20 MB RAM. The root disk, which contains /var and /usr, is a 200 MB slice which is 43% full. For a pure firewall machine, don't install X, games, info files, so you should be able to run it stand-alone.
