I used 32MB when I first installed FreeBSD, but went to 64MB when I switched over to a bigger drive. Although 32MB seemed fine at first, it was starting to feel a little claustraphobic after a while, what with custom kernels and a few backup kernels lying around...I just wanted a little breathing room :-) But I concure: 32MB is fine (especially if you're cramped for space)... --Dan ** The thing I like most about Windows 98 is... ** You can download FreeBSD with it!
