This sounds good (heck, it sounds almost _too_ good). I will be
installing a new 10g drive for this. Are there any recommended
partitionings? Although this is NT Workstation, not server, I _try_ to
keep the box reasonably organized. Is it recommended/common to set up a
special userid to do this (I would assume it is in the Unix world, but NT
is a bit more permissive in who can do what) (obviously, this will be in
the "administrator" group). many thanks for the advice.
