To my understanding, chris' stuff is like that

1) create a partition (swap)

2) make mfs
   mount_mfs -s 16384 /dev/wd0b /tmp
   make link
   ln -s /var /tmp/var

3) populating /tmp
   mkdir /tmp/var
   mkdir /tmp/var/tmp
   mkdir /tmp/var/run
   ...

is it the similar like yours stated in the previous email

If not, would you please tell me the steps of your method.  Thanks.

The main purpose is like this.

1) Each time my machine got the IP assigned by the ISP
2) I have it post it dynamic dns service provided by dyndns.org using client 
ipcheck.
3) So everyone on the internet can see my web server once I have it up.

I use the name server provided by the ISP and I don't have mine at the 
moment.  May be I will setup one for internal use later.
