I thought the smallest drive coming in a Qube 3 now was 20 gigs, so I should
at least wind up with about 20 gigs total allocation. Maybe I am not fully
understanding the osrcd principles but does it not utilize the remaining
available disk space and automatically make the "/home" partition out of
that space? I thought the "/" and "/var" partitions were the purpose of
resizing the partitions on the OSRCD, and the "/home" partition would
automatically adjust accordingly?

Am I way off-base in my thinking. After all Sun sells the Qube 3 with 40 gig
drives now, so I would think the downloadable image would work for this.

TIA,
Chris
