You define which filesystems you'd like and a set of *advisory* sizes at the beginning and then it auto-adjusts them once you've selected all the components to install. Libh, however, has package size information available up-front. Sysinstall does not. :-( - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
