Actually with Jordans recent change to sysinstall the defaults will have more free space on / than in the 20MB /var :-) I hand't used the ``Auto Defaults to All'' recent enough to realize that a 20MB /var was being created, which is 12MB smaller than any /var we create here.... The root partition should be written to except for a few files in /etc, or at least IMHO. We should have a /tmp seperate file system, minimal size 16MB recommend 32MB or more. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
