Resubmitted hoping the list is back up.
Hi
I have installed RH on several PCs in the past. Now I am
bring an old Pentium 133 back into play as a Masquerade
server. I has 96 MB RAM, 2.1 GB HD [the smallest and
cheapest that I could find in my neck of the woods] and two
linksys 10/100 ethernet cards and a generic video card.
My question is that since I am sure this machine will be
upgraded in the future and that I am not going to install
unnecessary packages on this HD how should I patitiion it?
My ideas were:
/boot 20-30 MB
/home 200 MB
/usr/sbin 500 MB
/ everything else
I have no real reason for this schema. I want to protect
established scripts etc when reinstall or major upgrading is
necessary. Any easier schema?
Second Question:
Should I plan on using this PC as both masquerading and
firewall machine [ipchains dictates this to a degree] or
should I have a second layer of security? This is a home
network - not a corporate animal.
Thanks
Bob Hartung
