Well, I'd suggest splitting your big partition in two, and putting
/home on the other one, so that "your" stuff is separated out from the
system stuff. That's the only problem.

See the FAQ entry at <URL:

them.


> Do I able to mount CDROM & FLOPPY in single command like /cdrom or /floppy ?

You need to add lines to fstab for /cdrom and /floppy. See the fstab
man page.

Check the man page for the command you are using to look at the files.

See the handbook entry on printing <URL:

You could have gotten everything but the question about partition
setup faster by searching the FreeBSD web site before asking the
question, which is *always* a recommended practice.
