[all of it below the 1024th cylinder] If one wants to install "everything" (say, everything on a 2.2.1 distribution, including the source, games, and ports) for FreeBSD on a large disk, what partition sizing is a good idea? I.e. how much for /, how much for /usr, and how much for other partitions, if any (/var?)? Assume just a desktop machine, not a web server that gets lots of hits or anything like that. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy J.
