Hmm....just remember that the boot drive is going to be IDE and the 10 GB
(Which only DETECTED as 8.5 GB!) is SCSI. Perhaps I should make the /boot
about 10-15 megs and another 50 megs of swap space and then the rest of the
IDE for /home and almost the entire SCSI drive (minus another 50 mb for
SWAP) as / ??? (I'm probably going to be the only user on the system,
although I *may* turn it into a web/ftp mirror for another site, just for
the experience.)
Thanks....
John
