Does your system use NIS, LDAP, or just /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow?
Are there any NFS mounts?

AMD's Athlon64 or Intel's P4?

While AMD-64 is really nifty, especially for server class applications, it's
not really accessible yet to most game software. So the clock speed winds up
dominating a lot of that performance. For this year at least, consider using
Xeon's on a dual-CPU capable board and add the second CPU later if you need
it.

Hyperthreading on CPU's is useful for some applications, but also still
over-vaunted.

man mount
 

Not the greatest idea, but whatever. When you mount something, there,
the something is going to modify those permissions.
 

It's the default. See that mount man page, and look at the 'mode' option.
This would go into the /etc/fstab. You might also be interested in the
'user', "uid", and 'gid' options, but maybe not.
 

Is the floppy using a Unix style filesystem that understands those
permissions and ownership?
 

Seems so. Did you think to look at http://groups.google.com - this one
does turn up pretty frequent ;-)

Hard Drive Setup

Are you using ext2 filesystems?

If you are, the resize2fs (see "man resize2fs") can be used in
conjunction with fdisk to modify a disk partition and its filesystem
information. Be aware that a mistake can pretty much hose everything.

To grow a partition, first use fdisk to change the ending address of the
partition to a higher value, then use resize2fs to make the filesystem
information conform.

To shrink a partition, first use resize2fs to change the filesystem
information to the desired smaller size, then use fdisk to change the
ending address of the partition to the corresponding lower value.

This method is limited in that only the *end* of the partition can be
changed. The start of the partition has to remain fixed.

Is there a way to set an environment variable (for the parent shell) through a bash script???

Andreas Janssen said the following, on 09/13/04 13:47: 

It is not possible for any process to set the environment of its parent.
 

I think you mean to run:

.. ./test.sh

At least, that's what works in bash.
 

This works because the initial '.' tells the (current) shell to read and
execute the lines in './try.sh' as input to the current shell process.

(BTW, it is a perfectly natural habit to call things 'test', but it's
really not a good idea -- man test.)

I would use a Debian distribution with the minimum of packages you
can install. It can do the job you want it to do without any problem,
and you can use it as a firewall also with some more work. It's an old
machine, but it can serve as a server for some services also.

Moving Partitions - hitch

You have separate /usr & /usr/local partitions?
So in the root partition, create the mount point [directory] /usr.
Mount the user partition onto /usr.
Create [once only] the directory /usr/local - it will actually be /local
in the /usr partition.
Mount the /usr/local partition onto the /usr/local mount point.
That's the recipe!

If you *ever* want to mount /usr/local without mounting /usr, then
you'll need mount point /usr/local in root.

LVM partition

Patrick Guio <uib.no> wrote: 

Yes, that is my opinion.

To be exact, I am not sure if it is still recommended to have /boot on a
separate partition at the beginning of the hard disk or if that has
become obsolete with new hardware or boot loaders.

Maybe somebody else knows more about this.

If not, a single partition with an ext3 file system for / would be
enough.
