  Here's what's in my fep:>local.boot file:

Declare Paging Files Paging-1,Paging-2
Set Boot Options :IDS Enable
Set Boot Options :Network Address CHAOS|52525
Set Boot Options :Site Name Home
Set Boot Options :Namespace Descriptor File LOCAL:>sys>site>home-namespace.text

  and here's the namescpace object for the lispm:

^F9Showing HOST JUPITER in namespace HOME:
^F0Site: HOME

  and the namespace:

pace HOME

^F9Showing NAMESPACE HOME in namespace HOME:

  Since I have a small site (a half dozen machines), I don't save a
site configured incremental world. I just boot the generic world load
and have it reload the namespace each time. It doesn't take too long
if your site is small. Doing it this way makes making massive changes
to the namespace easier and saves the disk space form the incremental
world.
