Hello.
Would it be fine if I'll only allocate 4.5G for the history and workarea on the
local hardisk? like this;
/ 512M
/usr 2G
/var 1G
/swap 1G <--- does DNEWS used up this much swap?
/news 4.5G <-- this is where the history and workarea go!
/spool1 60
/spool2 60
/spool3 60
/spool4 60
but what about xover? how do i allocate it without hampering my system later
on? :-) Thanks for the help.
