Re: [LI] any suggestions on server configuration

Hi Sandeep,
Wassup !! BTW Happy New year to you and everyone at Pune!!!
You might still need the swap  Space, it is always good to have a good
amount
of swap space ( This was recently discussed at the OpenBSD misc mailing
list
and it is archived also in case you want to have a look ).  Of course the
normal notion of
twice the RAM for swap space might not be good  ;-) You can have a swap
space of either
256MB or 512MB ??      Any comments ??

And which fdisk are you talking about ?? DOS fdisk ?? or linux fdisk ?? if
it is DOS fdisk, I am
lifting my hands.  ;-)

If it is linux fdisk, then you might want to have a look at the jumper at
the rear of your
HDD or enable LBA mode in BIOS or listen to the gurus here on the LI. ;-)
HTH
     Khader
