>Description:
	During install you can configure about every aspect of the disk creation
	except for the inodes.  Years ago under NetBSD 1.2, I had a news server,
	the biggest problem I had was running out of inodes.  With the help of
	the mailing list I mucked through recreating the disk with more inodes. 
	I know, make multiple partions and split the data up, this is a real
	pain, especially if one of them runs out of inodes (which did happen).

	I just saw a message on the list that jogged my memory.	
>How-To-Repeat:
	it's not there.
>Fix:
	Just put it in the advanced disk configuration and mention it in the
	readme for any news server admins to be.
