This machine will be used as a dialout/dialup gateway using ppp -auto -alial ispname. This machine will also have one network card and one 56k Modem, and 8MB of RAM. I need to know approximately how I should slice up my drives, and which partitions are required. Please comment on the following partitioning scheme: Part Mount Size Newfs Part Mount Size Newfs ----------- ----------- ----- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----- ------ wd0s1a / 10 UFS Y wd0s1b 10 SWAP wd0s1e /usr 30 UFS Y wd0s1f /var 30 UFS Y How much space is required on each partition to complete a minimal installation via ftp? I have attempted to configure the same type of system using PicoBSD, but have had no luck, but I have completed this task on several machines with 120 MB HDD's and 16 MB of RAM. If I use a 386SX-33 with 4MB of ram to build this router/gateway, will this system be quick enough to service a network with 10 Windoze 95 boxes browsing the internet, and using email.
