Greetings list, Given recent EOL announcements, I'm trying to upgrade an ancient machine from 5.5 to 7. It has 80 Mb total in the root partition, /home/, /var/, /usr/, and /tmp/ on other partitions, and NFS mounts /usr/src, /usr/obj, and /usr/ports from a slightly newer/faster box. I've seen http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/relnotes.html and http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-stable&m=121278826119286&w=2 which seem to suggest that even with INSTALL_NODEBUG during buildkernel, 7 might not fit in an 80 Mb /. Must I partition a new disk to give more space to /, or can I find more space by deleting /stand/, /modules/, and possibly /rescue/ to shoehorn a custom 7.x kernel in the available space?
