Size? and other questions

[Matt Keyes]

Question...

      I'm setting up a CVS server at home for personal use to house software projects perhaps no more than five other people will be working on.  What type of hard drive space could I expect to need?  I have one server which has two 8.5 GB drives, and another with one 40 GB drive.  I'd like to preserve the 40GB drive for FTP, but I could use it for CVS if necessary.

 

      Furthermore, does CVS store its data in /usr, /home, or some other directory? (I've never used it before)

 

Lastly:

 

At this link:

it mentions creating a RAM disk… anyone have any links as to how to create a RAM disk?  I’ve never done this in Linux before.

 

Thanks!!!
