Is this going to create > a problem? I think for most people that it's a matter of opinion. For me it depends on the size of the hard drive. I try to allocate 1/4 to / 50 megs for /var and /tmp, two times the ram size for /swap and the rest into /usr. Of course on anything smaller then 2 gigs you want to modify that a bit. Less for / and /swap. :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
