hi all I was wondering what is the approximate size of the FULL ports tree, including distfiles and packages (after building everything) I know that the distfiles, and the unbuilt ports tree would come near 4 Giga bytes. I want to be able to test build the ENTIRE ports, and planning to buy a new HD for that, what is the recommended size. I already have 3 HDs 10, 5, and 5 gigs (total 20 Gigs) until now, I am not able to make the following co-exsist on my system ; 1- complete src build 2- complete FreeBSD binary install 3- complete ports build, install, and package 4- full release 5- full cvs tree, gnats, mail-lists, docs 6- other InterNIC stuff (rfcs, ietf-drafts, etc) 7- greedy /usr/local 8- huge web site downloads 9- usenet groups 10- decent ftp site 11- decent web site most of these stuff are there, except I could not test the full build of the ports. Any suggestions for the '*GOOD*' HD size to add as the 'LAST :( ' HD ? and by the way, if I have a regular PC, pentium 166, with IDE drives, can I add more SCSI drives and make them co-exsist, is it possible, or is this a bad idea, or would it break something and is there enough irqs to do this ? sorry for the verbosity, but I need more space to BREATHE. thanks in advance. ===== MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
