I have 6.4GB Harddrive. Win 95 use -- 3400GB and others for FBSD. I create only two partition one for / and other swap. I have 128MB RAM so I create 256MB for swap. Swap takes much MB. Do I create 128MB for swap ? Do it create any problem or make slow my X-windows ? Till one month I read so many message from FBSD mailing list and also FreeBSD book, I have few questions but now I ask only one :- In Chapter 5 , Where to put /var and /tmp section:- " If we don't specify anything else, /var & /tmp will end up on the /root file system,which isn't enormous. If we leave things like that,there's a very good chance that the root file system will fillup" WHY ? Do it good to create separate partition for /var & /tmp like / & swap ?
