Hi all, I'm a relative *NIX newby running FreeBSD on an somewhat older (750 MHz) machine. I've been installing programs, and they seem to install in my home directory by default, but I have my partition table set up so I don't have much room there. My questions are: 1) is there a better place to install programs (like /usr/bin for example?) and 2) is there an established procedure for installing programs in that location by default? Sorry if the wording of my questions in unclear; let me know if you have any questions.
