I want to set up a little server on my home network for web development projects; I don't plan to use it for anything else. Although I've used Solaris somewhat at school for programming projects, this is the first time I've tried setting up my own system. I'm also a newbie to XAMPP.
I acquired an old Sun SparcStation 5 with dual 2.1GB drives. I know that's not a ton of disk space by modern standards but I figured it's enough to play with. I formatted both drives and performed a clean install of Solaris 8. Along the way, I selected auto-layout for the file system, which I'm told is the thing for newbies to do. The installer came up with the following layout:
- Code: Select all
overlap c0t1d0s2 2028 MB
/export/home0 c0t1d0s7 2028 MB
/ c0t3d0s0 45 MB
/usr/openwin c0t3d0s1 247 MB
overlap c0t3d0s2 2028 MB
/var c0t3d0s3 25 MB
swap c0t3d0s4 147 MB
/opt c0t3d0s5 25 MB
/usr c0t3d0s6 377 MB
/export/home c0t3d0s7 1158 MB
Now, it's my understanding that XAMPP installs to /opt/xampp by default. In looking at this filesystem, I see that /opt is allocated 25MB, but the XAMPP download alone is 38MB.
Is this going to be a problem? Should I have tried to manually layout the file system? Should I install somewhere besides /opt? Other advice?
Thanks so much for any help...
