Thanks, I found that helpful.

One question though is about the transaction log files on the px_log
directory I have two huge files totalling about 30 meg. One thing I'm
working on is figuring out how much disk usage I'll have for our data
compared to what we are using now. I'm wondering if I should count those
two files and if there is a way of eliminating them if they ever become not
needed

Thanks

Take care,
