I have installed several machines, and usually use the defaults in the sysinstall for desk top machines, but when I install for a server, I find that I need a much bigger /var/mail and /var/log partition Also I tend to need a slightly bigger / partition to do kernel development and handle the default /tmp directory. Maybe this should go in Sysinstall also, but I thought it would be a good idea to have a couple of models to choose from, such as "desktop", "laptop", "Net Server", "router". Things like this that might have different algorithms depending on the overall size of disks they have dedicated to FreeBSD. Just a thought :-) Thanks, I am looking forward to seeing this part more user friendly. Christopher J.
