With this amount of space, unless you a setting up a server for a dedicated application, I would go with the freebsd default of having /home as a symlink to /usr/home. I would also shrink /tmp down at least to 256M or even less, normally things break down into two sets: those that need fiddling small amounts of tmp space, and those that need huge amounts and need to be pointed elsewhere. Similarly with /var - I'm currently using 68MB out of 512MB on a standard desktop machine, huge var partitions are used in certain kinds of specialist servers. BTW I would recommend GAG as a boot manager: - no configurations files needed, you can install it through menus from a linux live cd - once it's installed on the disk you can maintain it from it's own bootprompt menu. That's a really nice, because a year from now you wont need to reread man pages to change the boot delay, or add another os. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
