You will need about 2GB to have an installed system, a copy of the CVS repository and still build the world with comfortable space left over. Putting everything on one partition means that you don't have to second-guess how big everything is going to be (can you say "minidisk" anyone?). > Any other disk hits, gotchas and advice are warmly welcomed. I'll offer a 'hint', and that's get one of the $400 6GB disks and have lots of space for everything. 8) -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
