For workstations, I do two things different. One is that I split /home out, so that I can do clean system installs without having to restore it. You have to decide how big that is going to be, though. I guess if it's so small that you can put it on a floppy, there's not point. The other thing is to split /usr out, as everything on it is built from sources. The system configuration and description files are all in /etc and /var, so they stay on /, which I back up regularly. 60 to 100 meg is enough for that. If you aren't going to back up /, this is pretty pointless as well. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
