Debian usually uses /var/www which I do not really care. I can even have the webserver pages (*.php) on the CD.
My biggest concern is to keep the database, logfiles, and a few other files persistent. I thought, the easiest would be to have /var/ on the hdd. I will try now to move the database and the logs to a different directory which I will mount during the boot process. I just thought that there would be a designed way for this. >> The easiest way would be just to add to the auto-generated-fstab >> /dev/sda1 /var auto 1 0 but I do not know where to add it. >> > > give me a few minutes for that, i'll fix something in svn and let you know. > > Ok, Thanks, I am looking for it :-) >> Other topic I am trying to "trick out" is the auto-login.
