You don't; you make it one time and then you just have to be sure you mount /home; if you need /var/db in some early stage you should ask on questions (actually this mail should have been posted there too.) > 3. Any other issues should I concern? Don't see any, but this is the reason questions should be asked on questions@ Quote from FreeBSD-Newbies First Aid Kit " FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. It is particularly important to send all installation questions and answers to FreeBSD-Questions so that they only appear in one place. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for FreeBSD help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. " -- IOnut Unregistered ;) FreeBSD "user"
