Note you can also use a configuration where you have NetBSD root and usr
(and most of /var) on the internal IDE, but all of the files (cvs, nfs,
etc.)  that you care about on the IDE. / and /usr (not /usr/pkg nor
/usr/local)  can fit in 200MB or less, so you have a lot of room on that
old disk.

If you really really want to be a cvs server, get a lot of ram. If you can=

keep your whole source tree in ram, you'll serve it up a LOT faster. TNF=20
does this with our server, and it makes a notable difference.

Take care,

Bill
