Re: Installation configuration questions

Paul, et. al.,
Again, the parameters for the question I originally asked were not being
addressed. This computer will ONLY be used for proxy (via Squid) and
DNS. Nothing else. And in addition to the partition sizes, I also was
looking for what packages I would need to install.

The original question is re-quoted below...
