 Partition Size                     Help 1 of 1
  Specify the size of the NetWare partition
 (based on the starting and ending cylinder
 numbers) in megabytes.
 To change this number, highlight this field,
 then enter a new number.
 Other partitions may be listed. However, you
 can edit only the NetWare partition.
 If you increase the size of the NetWare
 partition (by increasing the end cylinder
 number or megabytes), you will overwrite
 non-NetWare partitions.
 Ending Cylinder Number             Help 1 of 2

 can edit only the NetWare partition.
 Ending Cylinder Number             Help 2 of 2
  To change the size of the partition, you can
 change this number or the number of megabytes
 allocated to the partition.
 If you change the number of megabytes, the
 ending cylinder number automatically changes.
 If you increase the size of the NetWare
 partition (by increasing the end cylinder
 number or megabytes), you will overwrite any
 non-NetWare partitions.
 Volume Caching                     Help 1 of 1
  Use volume caching to load the directory
 structure into RAM.
 This allows the server to access each file
 more quickly than it could from hard disk.
 Unless you have file server memory problems,
 you should use volume caching.
 Press Y for Yes to use volume caching.
 Press N for No to not have volume caching.
