They each require less than 100Meg each (bsd realy only needs 32Meg). You'll probably only need 1.5 Gbyte for /usr on each installed OS. Make /var a symbolic link to /usr/var or reduce /usr by 500M and use that for /var. With the two FreeBSD versions you are talking about and say two Linux distributions that is 4*100M + 4*1.5G = 6.4G. Share one swap partition between all the OSes as the first say 500M on the second master. Also set up so that they all mount the same UFS /home as the remainder of the second master drive. When you need more space in /usr for any given OS make a directory in the /home partition and put a symbolic link to it in the right place. Just my thoughts. chris __ Chris Fedde <chris@fedde.littleton.co.us> 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
