 Hi folks, wondering if you could answer me this.

when you install FBSD it creates 3 partitions  bin, root, lib(or something
like that- please correct me if I'm wrong and I'm sure I am).  any ways I
would install a few packages and I would run out of room on the root
partition or something.  I always assumed when I installed FBSD I would have
to change the size of the partitions but I never knew how.  Could someone
here explain how that works and if there is a way to adjust partition after
initial installation.

Thank you for all your time.
Stéphane
