Windows file server: 40gb drive * /boot partition - 100mb / partition - 10gb /var partition - the rest of the drive 10gb drive * SWAP partition - 1gb /home partition - the rest of the drive 4gb drive /tmp partition - the entire drive Use the /var partition for your Windows share(s) - create a directory underneath the /var (like /var/file_share) and use that for your sharing/network file archive The /home is large enough to contain all the users email folders/files, as well as your local home directory for mucking around and the likes. By balancing out the system as such - keeping the OS on one physical drive, the SWAP on another physical drive, and the /tmp on another physical drive, you're load balancing and gaining the most performance overall. You might want to check into what file system(s) you're going to want to use - I've found that ReiserFS is rather speedy - especially for my Windows shares - heaps of small files and large writes/reads...

[newbie] new installation questions
I did a fresh installtion of 8.1 on a Mircon laptop. I have the following queston/problems 1. The installation does not seem to recognizing the mouse correctly. It always shows up as big white square instead of a pointer. 2. It default logs in in as a user userx. How can I change this to ask for a login and password. 3. Whenever I login, I see 4 nautilius processes running each taking about 7M of memory. Do I need this nautilus? How do I disable it. I have been a RedHat user for a while. Never seen this. Any help appreciated. TIA Ravi

RE: [newbie] new installation
You need to boot with a rescue disk, or with your installation CD and type 'rescue' at the LILO prompt. This will allow you to mount your linux root partition and sort out your /etc/lilo.conf file. Remember to run /sbin/lilo after changing the config file or your changes will have no effect. -Original Message- From: Benjamin Ng [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 5:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] new installation Hi All, Just installed Mandrake 8.1 in my AMD-500Mhz machine.

I had not done any Linux installs since RH 4.X,... I didn't have time and damn near forgot everything. I got home and installed Mandrake, set up kppp, kmail and got it running sweetly with an IBM 40Mhz Aptiva .. Hot Damn ! There may be hope for me yet ! My honey even likes it better than WinBlow$ Charley
