<PRE>I copied a CD full of pics to a folder on my user
desktop, which is part of a group. I can't figure out
how to access it from another user account in the
group. I right clicked on the pic folder hit
properties and under ownership I gave it to the group.
Should I have saved the pic folder in something like
/usr/sbin? I'm stuck on an easy one.
I appreciate all the feedback about partitioning, it
got me thinking and I swapped HD's. Now the faster 30
g HD is the master and the slower 10 g is the slave. I
like the partitioning scheme since I can monitor
everything better. This is what I ended up with but
will be adjusted next time. The only problem I had was
with the boot sector on the master. I had to reboot
the install because it said I had bad sectors. I had
to FDISK again and I formatted as vfat and it seemed
to fix the sectors. I didn't want to take any chances
anyway so I put the /boot on the slave.
(30 g master)
hda1 /jb 10 g
hda2 /usr 5 g
hda3 / 5 g
hda4 /usr/local 10 g
(10 g slave)
hdb1 /boot 94 m
hdb2 /home 8.2 g
hdb3 swap 1.5 g
I see the /boot could have been smaller and having the
swap on the slower drive isn't an advantage. Next time
I'll probably do it a little different but I think
this will work out great for now.
Thanks guys for all the help.</PRE>
