Hi, that are the partitions in my firewall box --- a 486DX2 66 with 16MB RAM running additional proxy squid and junkbuster. You'll have to add partitions for the data you want to serve and configure the programs. Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 784 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1 8001 83 Linux /dev/hda2 2 65 514080 83 Linux /dev/hda3 * 66 784 5775367+ 5 Extended /dev/hda5 66 81 128488+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda6 82 784 5646816 83 Linux Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 497936 415428 56804 88% / /dev/hda6 5469584 853440 4333804 17% /var /dev/hda1 7746 4642 2704 64% /boot If you don't want to serve the internet with dns it's not very wise to put the name server into the firewall. If that box is cracked, you put the way to your other (internal) net on the plate of the cracker. regards Albrecht
