Sounds great. But what would be the exact procedure to do this. I mean, how could I get about installing root and /usr on two different partitions. By the way, I ultimately got my dual boot system working at the cost of allocating 13 GB to free BSD. By implementing your idea, I could give more memory to Windows (which by the way eat's up harddisk pretty fast). Cheers :-) Hemanth. > One way around this is to create four partitions.
