Rand) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: Partitions on a 500 Mbyte disk Date: 23 Sep 1993 12:33:47 -0500 Organization: University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND Lines: 19 Distribution: world Message-ID: <RAND.93Sep23123346@agassiz.cas.und.NoDak.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: agassiz.cas.und.nodak.edu I've got a Maxtor 500 Mbyte disk that I'm going to install NetBSD 0.9 on (it is currently on a 213 Mbyte disk). I was wondering if anybody had any net.wisdom on how to setup the partitions. Here is what I've thought of so far: root 15 Mbytes swap 40 Mbytes (is 2xRAM right for 20 Mbytes of RAM?) /usr 200 Mbytes /usr/local 100 Mbytes Should I be doing a partition for /var? I don't expect to be running news, but mail, uucp, and printing will be running. Any suggestions? -- Douglas K.
