After creating a partition, the installation moves on to the "naming and slicing" screen. If you choose the bsd partition, then type "a", it will automatically create slices for you. IIRC, this will be 20M for /, 2xMem for swap, 50M for /var and the rest for /usr. Remember that the automatic slicing is not an all or nothing affair. You can manually create a 100M slice for /, then have the installation automatically create the rest. Or automatically create the defaults, delete the last (/usr) slice, add in another slice of your choosing (/usr/local), then automatically recreate /usr in the remainder. It's quite flexible. -- David Johnson... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
