I made it a little larger than the default on install at 50MB. I do have a couple of spare kernels lurking in there but still looks like I need to enlarge it somehow or symlink something elsewhere. Trouble is , that seems a little shaky in case of emergency boot and "/" is all that is mounted. I'm pretty new and don't really know what is important to leave on "/", and especially how to move root to new larger partition. I do have space on an `anex' partition. Looking for ways to trim down I looked in /stand and see two really odd looking files. They look like something I created with sloppy commands or typing: ls /stand shows in addition to the normal file, two that look like this: -sh [ Running `file' on either gives: /stand/[: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped ls -l shows: -r-xr-xr-x 30 root wheel 1687052 Jun 24 05:06 /stand/[ Same size as all the other executables in there.
