I'm gonna go get another HD later, but right now I'd like to get running with just that. So far I've been trying with 16 to swap and various other combinations, but it always seems to run out of /usr space. I figure / should be at least 32MB, and the rest (~152MB) goes to /usr. I'm trying to install the binaries, the docs, and the kernel source (but not the rest of the source). Any idea if it's even possible? Should I shrink down the root partition more? I've done loads of installs at this point, but all on HDs with at least a gig for FreeBSD. Any ideas where I can get a bigger HD that's still under the limit for old BIOSen? Thanks in advance for any help. -- Laurence Berland, Stuyvesant HS Debate <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. http://stuy.debate.net icq #7434346 aol imer E1101 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
