Hello, I am very new to FreeBSD, I = have 4 gig HD=20 and I installed the HD to partitions during the installation of FreeBSD. = I=20 chosen automatic assign, and what the install program set = was

/ = 30MB

swap 137MB

/var 30MB

/usr all the remaining = space

Everything would be fine but I got lots of errors = that /var=20 has not enough space, I am suspecting that / dir would run our of free = space=20 pretty soon if it didn't already. Can you advise me what is the best = solution=20 for the partition sizes? I have 64mb of ram, so I understand that swap = should be=20 like 128mb or 137 as it was chosen. I will probably want to allocate = 160MB, but=20 I am not sure what I should do next, how much aprox I should allocate = for / or=20 /usr or for /var also I want something to be left for user directories = as well=20 if possible.

Thank you for your help.

Chris
