Date: 16 Oct 1995 13:58:58 GMT Organization: EMBA Computer Facility, The University of Vermont Lines: 16 Message-ID: <45tof2$578@swen.emba.uvm.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: opus.emba.uvm.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I'm planning on installing FreeBSD 2.1 when it's finally out, and in the meantime I was playing with the 100595 2.1 SNAP and noticed that when I went to label the slices that as defaults it gave me 32MB for / and 30MB for /var and I was curious if this isn't a bit excessive for an X-User with Kernel source installation? I couldn't find the answer in the FAQ and the hard-disk partioning tutorial gives ~18MB / and ~10MB /var as reasonable defaults. My reason for caring, is that I'm going to be running this on my laptop and only have 142MB for FreeBSD, so I'd obviously like as much space as possible in /usr. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. -Todd Huss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ thuss@moose.uvm.edu http://www.emba.uvm.edu/~huss
