A Web server has different partition requirements than a desktop or a file server. For a machine with 26 GB of hard disk space, spread out over two drives, here’s one possible configuration. Boot is always 100 MB, unless you’re so pressed for disk space that you need to reduce it further. /var/www is where Web server files go, so you’ll want a lot of room there. Swap is usually twice the amount of RAM.

If you’re one of the four, five, maybe even six people
out there on the Internet who want to set up an A/UX web server, then this guide is for you. To make things simpler, this document follows a few standard conventions. Text in Courier is reserved for terminal sessions. This provides a sample walkthrough of commands to type and their usual responses. For example: A larger courier font is used to denote relevant commands mid-sentence, such as newconfig, in order to separate the command from the rest of the text. File and path names, such as /etc/inittab, are in bold. Individual references to filenames without paths like inittab aren’t.
