You really should be looking at doing a fresh install of 6.0 from scratch so you can take advantage of the new file system which came out in 5.0. When it comes to FreeBSD slices on the hard drive, the sizes created by the auto selection during sysinstall works just fine. Moving the slices around is for experienced people. You can really mess up the works trying to play around. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Gunnar Flygt Sent: Friday, April 25, 2003 3:54 AM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Best way to partition a small HD I have an old Toshiba laptop with 24MB of RAM and 500MB HD. What is the best way of partitioning this disk for 4.7-RELEASE or later? Should I use 450MB for / and the rest for swap or should I bother splitting the partition with / /usr and /var and swap? -- Gunnar Flygt OPC Data Sveriges Radio _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
