Because on my -CURRENT system: huff@>> du /boot | sort -nr 151838 /boot 66596 /boot/kernel.old 66526 /boot/kernel 17810 /boot/kernel.generic 20 /boot/defaults 2 /boot/modules 2 /boot/firmware Su unless I'm doing sonething that causes bloat, 128mb will be woefully inadwquate. The machine as a whole has two disks, a 4 gig: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 484M 223M 222M 50% / /dev/da0s1d 989M 295M 615M 32% /var plus 1 gig of swap, and a 45 gig: /dev/da1s1d 44G 33G 7.3G 82% /usr also plus 1 gig of swap.
