No, I think it's just referring to the post-install setup of a machine as an NFS client. We're just discussing sysinstall on IRC at the moment and have come up with the idea of asking what role the machine will be and choosing appropriate settings. So, for example: Default layout: 1GB / 2x RAM swap up to 2GB RAM, and then 1x RAM 1GB /tmp 4GB /var [rest of drive] /usr Desktop: Default layout Database server: Allocate 16GB to /usr and leave the rest for /var Ask if the user wants to install MySQL or Postgresql (?) NFS server: Same layout as for Desktop but enable NFS. Or should we give 16GB to /usr and leave the rest unallocated? I don't know enough about how NFS servers are setup. We *could* also choose appropriate packages similar to what Debian does, but that's probably a step too far for FreeBSD. -- Bruce
