I havent got enough room to upgrade, and am otherwise beginning to feel a bit squeezed. Installing the drive physically shouldn't be a problem because a PC guru will help me here. I'm wondering how hard it will be to configure the drive. Can anybody give me fairly explicit instructions? How do I format the drive? How do I divide it into, say, four filesystems? or three filesystems? (Is there a tool that figures out how many bytes are available after formatting and will let me divvy up the drive??) A friend who uses NetBSD says that I've got to do the calculations by hand, which shouldn't be any major deal. But it'd be nicer is somebody put together a tool. Thanks in advance.... gary kline PS: Never did I imagine that a gig of disk would be insufficient... !
