Would that be enough? I'd want it to be my > main system, so I'd want X, Netscape, emacs, etc on it. 1 GB may be enough, I'm currently using under 800MB. Though a build world would take quite a bit more, so perhaps a tad more would help. (I have lots of crap installed though, which you might not need.) Oh... you want emacs on it, well I don't have that here, not sure how much diskspace that would need. Just buy another disk and be done with it. :-) -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
