  After months of using FreeBSD, there is only one area in which I am 
still quite fuzzy. There seems to be no real standard place to 
install "stuff". For example, when I installed Samba the other day, I 
decided to use ./configure --prefix=/ --exec-prefix=/usr. Bad idea, I 
realized, since my 88M / slice began to fill up and now nmbd core dumps 
when stopped.

  So my question is, how does one make an informed decision as to where 
to place what? I know all unices have different places for different 
things - what are FreeBSD's? For example, what goes in /usr/local/ 
and /usr?

Thanks for any light you could shed on the subject. I know my question is 
posed in the most elegant matter but I hope it makes sense.
