[cobalt-users] OS3 and FrontPage

[BlackSun <admin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The new FrontPage "check" needs to be addressed immediately.
At first glance, having a 3MB requirement for every user seems
harmless enough...

...but, if you have a setup where you provide 100MB of disk
space and 100 user accounts, you now have to allocate 300MB
of disk space just to allow one site admin to use FrontPage!!
That's 197MB of overkill!!

With OS2 you could get around this through the site settings
(just up the disk space, enable FrontPage, then decrease it).
This no longer works, however.

Doesn't this strike anyone else as just stupid??!

There's a simple solution: implement the 3MB check **WHEN**
a site admin (or admin) goes to actually setup a user with
personal user webs. I don't offer personal user webs, and I
suspect most Cobalt admins don't either.
