I'd feel a bit more comfortable with the default at 100 or 120 meg. I would not vote against 200 meg, but if it were me doing the pushing for the change, then I would be pick a number more like 100 meg. Any number between 100 meg and 250 meg would be fine with me, though. The current default is too low, and it's really painful when one runs out of disk space in the middle of a 'make installkernel'... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
