I have a 200 cyl minidisk for that purpose, 80% used, and it contains 10 different sets of those three files in various flavors. If you¹re using just SLES10, then 30 cylinders will do it, and have space left over.
Now, if you¹re a packrat, like me, then allocate the 200 cyl disk, and you¹ll be able to keep SuSE SLES8-31bit, SLES8-64 bit, SuSE SLES9-31 bit, SLES9-64bit, SuSE SLES 10, Debian, RedHat RHEL 5, plus various service packs within these. This is also where I have the SWAPGEN and RXDASD stuff to make the swap vdisks. In short... He doesn¹t need an entire DASD; just give him a small minidisk. -- .~. Robert P.
