I use the auto defaults and frankly thats one of the. things in fbsd that I have become quite fond of over these years. If that goes away Im going to cry. If anything itd be nice if it would suggest a few different layouts and possibly partions for more than just what it suggests. I prefer many partitions myself but over the last year or so Ive used lvm2 and ext3 which I can resize. Cant you resize those partitions later? -Adele (sent from my gphone!)

How could changing the defaults bite new users who are by definition not used to any defaults yet? _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
