It used to be in /, but then most people had a hard time partitioning when deciding how much space to put in /usr and /home (home should not be the root partition), so the default is to make them one partition and have /home as /usr/home. If you make a /home partition during install, I believe that the default will be /home. > > -- > Best regards, > flux mailto:flux@hotbox.ru > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > -- Eric Rivas <ericr@sourmilk.net>
