Re: [cobalt-users] Help with FrontPage and Hosting

[Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The good news is I'm a reasonably-priced consultant who takes on linux 
administration clients all the time.

The bad news is that I really don't like getting involved with FP any more 
than I have to (call it bias <wry grin>).

But I have to, now, so I'm starting to learn.

One thing I know is that you have to have at least 2 free megabytes of free 
space available in the quota for the site in question when you install 
FPX.  Do you?
