They kind of have to be separate; it's a hierarchy of topics. Maybe if you showed a suggestion, it would be clearer what you meant. > [2] Lastly, some background - I came to the site seeking general > install recommendations, such as about suggested mountpoints and > slices (partition) ideology and sizes.

Nobody's managed to come up with a description that covers everybody. Greg Lehey ("Complete FreeBSD") recommends not partitioning at all unless you have a specific reason otherwise. I do that on my laptop (or did, when my laptop had a functioning disk drive). I tend to partition specifically to make backups convenient. > [3] Disk space required?
