I want to know how > much space (aprox.) do I need for / and /usr on -STABLE. Here's the layout of a 2.2.7-STABLE box I have. /export[2-6] are users' data (equivalent to your /home I suppose). I have 512MB swap as I have 128MB RAM. /tmp is big because it's an AMANDA holding disk (as is /usr2), plus I have /usr/obj => /usr2/obj for make world NB Until about 10 days ago /usr/ports, /usr/X11R6, /usr/src and /usr/local were all part of my /usr partition, with /usr/distfiles => /usr2/distfiles. It was a pain so I think you're doing the right thing by using lots of partitions. Although my /usr/ports looks a bit excessive, remember that when you do a make of the latest XFree86 you can kiss 200MB goodbye on /usr/ports.
