I want to know how much hard disk space I should allocate : for a fairly complete freebsd system. I'm talking binaries, CVS source : tree, and room to make the world. I'll add swap space and room for my : files as needed. Assume a fairly luxurious system with some games, : ports, etc. Disk space is fairly cheap right now, but it's always good : to plan ahead. Any takers? :) I found things really cramped when I had the 1.2G disk for stuff. I found things much less cramped on the 3.2G drive that I have now, but I also supplement that with a 1.0G JAZ drive for the CVS tree. With disk being as cheap as it is today, I'd get a couple of 2G-3G IDE drives. Warner
