Hi, All! First of all, i have to make excuses for my ugly English, so it's quite possible that you need in some kind of "telepathy" to understand my questions. Sorry once more time. Also i have to notice, that reading freebsd-stable and freebsd-bugs and freebsd-announce and freebsd-security (you tired? me too!) takes up to a quarter of my work-time. :-( I think, one more list - and i'll become fired! Please, CC: me, if you are going to answer. Finally, i would like to ask you shortly explain all "pro" and "contra" in your answer, 'cos i want to _understand_, not simply to know (if it's possible, of course ). Thanks in advance! 1. I heard, that "dangerously dedicated" disk are deprecated now. Does it mean, that dos-style partitioning is recommended even for FreeBSD-only disks? 2. I want to install all frequently modifyed files (src, ports, httpdoc etc.) on separate slice (f.e. - /arc). Which way is more "correct" - change all paths in conf-n-sup files to /arc/something instead of /usr/something, or just make symlinks from /usr/something to /arc/something and leave all config files unaltered? 3. I can choose from Intel EtherExpress 100+, SMC 9432TX and 3Com Etherlink III (3C590) to install. Which one is preferable (i mean stability and performance) for FreeBSD? 4. Does it exist the "officially recommended" method for generating customized sendmail.cf? Now i make it "by hands" (vi freebsd.mc; m4 la-la-la > sendmail.cf; cp /etc/mail/), but it's seems a little lame to me. 5. Is it possible to mount md0 (malloc disk) at boot-time using fstab? I want to make my /tmp a little faster, but "man md" failed... :-( -- WBR, Alex Markov (alex at asdg dot ru).
