[vox-tech] Laptop Computer setup for IF

[Rusty Minden]

I have set aside about 17GB for the /home directory. 

I will be using a small router with a four port switch with DHCP set up.

My question was very incomplete here it is.

1	Should I set up the ftp directory in the /home or in a different directory
2	How much space will I need.
3	I am not sure how to set this up. I was looking at jigdo-file, but I am not 
sure if that is the correct direction to go.
4	I plan to have non-Debian files available for download such as patches for 
Red Hat and for Laptops the fiels and configuration scripts from 
linux-laptop.net.

I will also want to use this machine for other purposes, but got the larger 
hardrive so I couls set it up for InstallFests. 

I am good with the Network side, but have not set up a server yet so I hope 
this will make my intentions clear.
