it is possible to ignore the /usr/vice/cache partition, if it's a great inconvenience to you. however, by doing so, you run the risk of afs cache corruption if the partion /usr/vice/cache is on ever fills up. cache corruption is not disastrous, but it can be confusing. i would suggest putting a symlink from /usr/vice/cache to something on /home or /backup, whichever is less likely to fill up. i have included checks in the install script to make sure that there is a /usr/vice/cache partition. you will need to circumvent these. when you run the command "sh /mnt/floppy/install.sh" in step 19, the script will halt because it can't find a partition called /usr/vice/cache. At that point, run the commands cd /root/install rm check_partitions.py touch check_partitions.py PYTHONPATH=`pwd` python install.py That will take you through the rest of the instructions. Then you should run the commands mkdir /home/afs_cache ln -s /home/afs_cache /usr/vice/cache ...or the same commands with "home" replaced by "backup", if you think that partition is less likely to fill up.
