Berbaum" Subject: Disk space requirements for FreeBSD 2.0 To: questions@FreeBSD.org Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings, I'm getting a new machine with a huge hard disk and need advice how much space to allocate to a separate physical partition for FreeBSD 2.0. One place I read that one needs between 60MB and 700MB for the system. This seems a huge range. Can you send some info about installation options and how much disk space they require? I do not need to keep sources on the hard disk, of course, but I will want TeX, emacs, and the compilers, as well as all the comm stuff, i.e., ftp, mail, and so on. If you have a FAQ, please send that too. Thanks! --Mike Michael L. Berbaum, Res.
