I think that if we're installing on a multi-gigabyte :disk, a 200MB root file system isn't imposing very much. : :louie I talked with Jordan about doing this a few months ago and he essentially gave the O.K. (I think his exact words were 'go do it', but he tends to say that whenever anyone asks for a new feature in sysinstall). In any case, I think it's time has come. I'll rework the sysinstall stuff today and put it up for comment. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
