Mostly a conceptual thing :-) I mostly wanted it to be obvious to others in our organization that the OS and the news spool are to be isolated as much as possible. : > # size offset fstype : > c: 5201920 0 unused : > e: 5199872 2048 4.2BSD : Curious again, why are you not using the first megabyte at all?
