Hi,
that are the partitions in my firewall box --- a 486DX2 66 with 16MB RAM
running additional proxy squid and junkbuster.
You'll have to add partitions for the data you want to serve and
configure
the programs.

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 784 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1             1         1      8001   83  Linux
/dev/hda2             2        65    514080   83  Linux
/dev/hda3   *        66       784   5775367+   5  Extended
/dev/hda5            66        81    128488+  82  Linux swap
/dev/hda6            82       784   5646816   83  Linux


Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2               497936    415428     56804  88% /
/dev/hda6              5469584    853440   4333804  17% /var
/dev/hda1                 7746      4642      2704  64% /boot

If you don't want to serve the internet with dns it's not very wise to
put the name server into the firewall. If that box is cracked, you put
the way to your other (internal) net on the plate of the cracker.
