Ah, but doesn't the now-standard-install make a partition for /var and /tmp?

Would have to go back to 2.1.5 or thereabout since the last time I tried a
then-novice-install.

I'd rather have a /, swap, and /usr.  Then, at need, add drives at mount
points.  No need to get into they why, what, and where, but suffice to say
is the main reason for using custom.  The ports and X are added after the
initial install is done and not through sysinstall.

Well OK, sometimes I do X with it. 8-)
