Would have to go back to 2.1.5 or thereabout since the last time I tried a then-novice-install. I'd rather have a /, swap, and /usr. Then, at need, add drives at mount points. No need to get into they why, what, and where, but suffice to say is the main reason for using custom. The ports and X are added after the initial install is done and not through sysinstall. Well OK, sometimes I do X with it. 8-) Jeff Mountin - jeff@mountin.net Systems/Network Administrator FreeBSD - the power to serve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
