I won't bore with all the details. However, I'd like to have a
development/Internet server system at home. I installed the Internet
Server configuration, but couldn't compile Majordomo without
development stuff. So I started installing development material and
completely filled my disk.

I have another SCSI disk I can add for more space. So, a few questions:

1. Is Majordomo the best solution for mailing lists that allow
user-initiated subscribes and unsubscribes. Does any list software
exist as a YDL rpm? As a source rpm? Majordomo is a pain to install.

2. Is there a clean way to install both Development and Internet Server loads?

3. If I spread a distribution over multiple partitions, how should
they be broken up, and which on which disk? I have a smallish disk
(maybe 2GB?) with a 500MB Mac partition and the over-full YDL. The
new drive is a 4GB. What's the best setup to allow for easy future
upgrades?
