Sorry, let me name it different: sysinstall->Partition->Create one partition, size it as full disk, but not dedicated. sysinstall->Disklabel->Create swap (128 or 256MB) sysinstall->Disklabel->Create root (usual 100 or 200MB) sysinstall->Disklabel->Create /usr (usual ~500MB) sysinstall->Disklabel->Create /var (usual 100 or 200MB) sysinstall->Disklabel->Create /usr/local (using the rest of the space) This is the usual order I enter the file systems in the sysinstall Disklabel. > > -- > \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith > \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au > \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org > \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com > -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-769-2936 Alameda Networks, Inc. | http://www.Alameda.net | Fax#: 510-521-5073 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
