Hi everyone. I was studying up on http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/installation-i386.html which I have at home on two CD-Rs and which I plan to install this weekend - hhooot whoot!!
Some suggestions for the freebsd.org webmaster. Perhaps others might find these useful as well? [1] I think the URL above ought to have a sort of organized, list of contents at the top such as 1.3 Topic1 1.4 Topic2 1.5 Topic-Or-FAQ-Question3... The list would be a Table of Contents at the beginning, with each section **hyperlinked** for easier, faster knowledge transference. [2] I noticed that the links below are general instructions, but maybe having two very similar documents throws off some people http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html [2] Lastly, some background - I came to the site seeking general install recommendations, such as about suggested mountpoints and slices (partition) ideology and sizes. Has this been asked before? I have a 200GB HDD and no definite plan about setting up slices and dirs!! [3] Disk space required? I realize the website gives minimum recommendations such as 160mb and 24mb RAM for example. Is it a good idea to set up an OS-only slice / bare minimum / then have a separate slice for my binaries and XFree86? [4] FOUR is here as a great tip if you have not seen this page: http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/index.pl great idea!! but it would be neat if each 'datasheet' or 'lab report' if you will, linked to the product listed at an official company URL e.g. http://store.ibm.com/products.php?ThinkpadXYZ1000 -- Peter Leftwich, Owner Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039, USA http://Www.Video2Video.Com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
