Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I was reading in the complete free bsd about how fbsd organises a disk. I got confused. All I want is a dedicated fbsd pc with one physical drive. On that drive it seems that it will be divided up into 4 slices(which come after the MBR and partition table)? Cant I just have 1 slice be the whole drive? So my root, swap, and /usr will be on the same big slice. Or do these slices become transparent to all? Or is it required that I have a different slice for each..?? I didnt bring the book to work or I would list page nums };) Thanks! -michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
