Most auto-sensing NICs will latch at 100-full if possible.  Best way to know for sure is to look from the other side.  Do you have it plugged into a managed switch with at least one auto-sensing ports?  If so, you could look at how the switch latched with your host in question.   Stuart

One last question. Since I'm doing all partitions onto RAID devices across my 2 drives, what's the proper way to do the swap partition? I had set it up on both drives just to be consistent without knowing any good/bad implications of that. I didn't want one drive to have a chunk of unused spa

partition. Keep in mind Apache by default now uses /var/www for it's root, not /home/http as in the past. You can, however, move it to /home if you wish. The important thing to stress is, increase / and make /boot smaller as indicated. 500MB is too small for / and way too big for /boot.

Thanks for the reply (all of you!). I did read a tiny bit about LVM in the RH install/config documentation. It seemed like very useful technology, but I stayed away from it for the moment given my embryonic understanding of the Linux environment. My setup is strictly for an anonymous (private.

All, I'm setting up a RH8 server (FTP) onto mirrored 40 GB drives (38162 usable...doing the RAID as part of the OS install) and need some partitioning suggestions for the installation. What partitions and sizes should I use (and why for those who feel like being extra informative...thanks in a

Great point...this is why my Mom's next computer is getting Linux. I convinced her that she'd be no worse off, since she basically knows nothing about Windows any way. And my being able to remotely administer would be better. And she'd avoid all the MS license shenanigans. She's all for it. :)
