It is possible to combine /tmp and swap. Install FreeBSD as usual, making a swap `b' partition on your disk. After installation, edit the /etc/fstab file and add an extra entry for the `b' partition that mounts on /tmp and uses the mfs filesystem type. For example, here's an excerpt from my /etc/fstab which does this: /dev/sd0s4b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sd0s4b /tmp mfs rw 0 0 You'll also need to configure your kernel with the line options MFS for this to work, since the MFS filesystem type can't yet be dynamically loaded. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
