Heh, what sort of crud do you put in /usr/local? :-) I usually use 512M
for /usr, and sometimes 1G if the machine is going to run X. But I dont
put src, obj or ports in there. /usr/obj has no business being in /usr in
the first place IMHO. I symlink /usr/obj, /usr/src, /usr/ports and /var/
crash to /home/$dirname. But then again, I usually dont use sysinstall at
all for installing new systems at home.
Cheers,
