When I was reading the Unix on Libretto pages scattered around the place they indicated that the BIOS would hide that part of the disc that it used to suspend onto. Is this not the case? I just ran the installer and selected (A) for auto layout. Interestingly, if I resized my swap partition up by 32Meg and my /usr down by 32 Meg the installer kept claiming that the selected size was too big. Hmm - how much should I leave at the end of the disc? The same amount as the memory in the machine? Is it possible to resize the partitions after I have installed FreeBSD? -- Cheers, david davidh@progmatics.com.au Progmatics Pty Ltd - Architects of IT and Internet Solutions Level 8, 191 Clarence Street Phone +61 2 9262 4933 Sydney NSW Australia Fax +61 2 9262 4045 http://www.progmatics.com.au/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
