Hello, I have a IBM DAQA 33240 with 3095 MByte.
Now I like to install Debian 2.1 on it but I do not know, in which partitions. My problem is, that I do not know the size of the root and use prtition, because I need to install many source for compiling and Software development. Where must I put all the source codes ??? In the root partition or usr partition ??? My Harddisk table curently is: hda1 Fat16 WfW 3.11 250 MByte (needed for compatib.) :-(( hda2 Fat16 DR-Dos 7.03 TCP/IP + DJGPP 250 MByte hda3 Linux83 Boot/Root 1500 MByte hda4 Linux82 Swap 200 MByte hda5 Linux83 /usr/ 900 MByte It is better to put the source codes on a seperatly partition ??? Possible a new Harddisk ??? The other question is, MUST I store the source codes on my Harddisk ??? I have this question, because I have two ZIP drives with 100/250 MByte, a SyQuest SQ3270 and possible in some month a DVD-Ram. I need to install following binarys: 1) Debian 2.1 2) XFree86 3) KDE 1.1.1 4) StarOffice (Possible the Pro version 5) Netscape 6) Pine 7) Software for Audio sampling,... (SB 64 AWE PnP) Any recommandations for a better Soundcard or Audiosystem are welcome. Must work with Yamaha keyboards. 8) Graphic Software (Proffessional) 9) Software for Video sampling,... Any recommandations for Video cards are welcome. I need S-VHS and possible two Video-Tapes. 10) CD-Burner Software A) Personal secure HTTP server and secure FTP server For the HTTP I like to use Appache but can anyone recommend a secure FTP server??? I need the two servers urgently. X) Source codes Many thanks for your Help in advance Webmistress Michelle I will be very happy, if I have my Main-Workstation on Linux and NOT WfW 3.11 which is neccesarily for the Work and some Clients. Fortunately I do not need the Win9x/2000.
