Regarding your item #2, I do that every time I go to install FreeBSD.=20 Although, I have noticed that the posted suggested partitions don't match= =20 very well with what my current FreeBSD server actually uses (for example, m= y=20 /var partition is taking MUCH more than the recommended space). I wonder if= =20 that section specifically needs updated to reflect minimum as well as large= r=20 system setups. On 9/9/05, Peter Leftwich <Hostmaster@video2video.com> wrote: >=20 > Hi everyone.
