Is there any point these days to having sysinstall auto-default to creating separate slices for /tmp, /var/, /usr........ when setting up new systems, I've started just ignoring the sysinstall auto-defaults and making one big / partition and installing FreeBSD there.... It seems every release we need to keep bumping up the size of the sysinstall auto-defaults because they are too small. This bites new users. -- Craig Rodrigues rodrigc@crodrigues.org
