Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk OK I've decided to make my 4GIG drive a DATA drive rather than an OS drive. This makes a lot more sense since then I won't get burned by the 4 primary parititons only limit. So, I plan to have my 1GIG like this. DOS 32 MEG NeXTSTEP 512 WINDOWS 95 100 WINDOWS NT 200 FreeBSD ? I think I might change this actually in order to give myself more FreeBSD space. Perhaps something like DOS 32 MEG NeXTSTEP 512 FreeBSD 350 Windows 95 100 Put NT on another disk since it will boot off another drive as will FreeBSD so I believe. I don't necessarily require my swap partition on another drive so perhaps 350 is more acceptable for a basic installation (with X11R6 BTW)? So I'd like to ask if 350 is enough to include swap and have XFree installed for use with Accelerated X and like I said I'll just add everything else via /usr/local on a different drive. If I wish to create a 1GIG filesystem on my 4GIG for FreeBSD will I be required to write a disktab entry?
