Disk Partitions
---------------
* The size of the MacPartition (boot volume) on both configurations has
been increased to 10 MB. This size will support a full install of System
7.1, if necessary.
* The size of the swap partition in the File/Print configuration has been
increased to 51 MB, the same size as the Database configuration.
With these changes, the only difference between the disk partitions on the two configurations is that the Database configuration includes two 10 MB "raw" database partitions. Therefore, on an identical drive, the UNIX Root&Usr partition (slice 0) would be 20 MB smaller in the Database configuration. Figures 1 and 2 show the partition map of a 1 GB drive loaded with the default Database and File/Print configurations, respectively.

Installer Packages
------------------
The default set of packages is now identical for both configurations; they are listed in Table 1. These packages were selected based on customer feedback.
Package Size
------------------------ -----
Core A/UX System 45 MB
Networking Capability 4 MB
Network Server Capability 1 MB
Manual Pages 4 MB
Basic C Programming 4 MB
Extended C Programming 2 MB
More UNIX Utilities 1 MB
UNIX Printing Utilities 1 MB
Debugging & Version Control 1 MB

Content of the Core Package
---------------------------
There are only two differences between the content of the packages in the two configurations. The user can switch between the two configurations using the shell script config_server, which is new in A/UX 3.1.
The values of a few of the kernel configuration parameters are different (These defaults have not changed since 3.0.1.). Table 2 details these settings; see kconfig(1) for more information.

Finally, the File/Print configuration includes the Autologin file, which bypasses the Login screen; for more information, see Autologin(4).
