Reply-to: junkmale@xtra.co.nz X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01b) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Tomorrow I will be installing a new IDE disk. A new I/O controller will also be going in because the current one will handle only two devices. The present one is full handling my drive and CD-ROM. The drive is a 5G drive. The system acts as my gateway box. I'll probably have an FTP server and a web server running. The current drive is about 300M, of which about 50 are free. Most of the boxes on my net are NT so I plan to install SAMBA to get some file sharing going. Any recommendations on how to partition this new drive? cheers. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd : my [mis]adventures To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
