I have 3G on this box, and I do FreeBSD, FreeBSD + Terry, > FreeBSD + SMP, and OpenBSD. It's still quite cramped. Hmmm, I only have ~600MB for my FreeBSD partition. But the good news is that I managed to move as much as I could (/home, etc..) into the zip, leaing me with ~118MB free after the new supof the src tree. A quick note on that point: nowhere on the freebsd web pages does it mention that the src-contrib delta is onw part of the CVS tree... Of course, I just fired off the cvsup-file from ftp.freebsd.org, after adding the tag=RELENG_2_2 and there was no src-contrib line. I quickly figured it out after the make world failed trying to cleandir /usr/src/contrib (which didn't exisit on my August SNAP). Obvious problem, but if I hadn't been paying attention to the -current news I maybe wouldn't have guessed.. On the topic of hard-disks, I obviously need a new one, so what do you all recomend for a FAST-SCSI-2 drive. I just have an NCR c810 controller, so I don't need the Ultra-Wide stuff. My local store is telling me that a 2GB Quantum Atlas is about $900 CDN!!! And his price on a Seagate Hawk 2.1GB is $700. Seems high to me, and I remember Terry and others debating the equal cost of IDE and SCSI a while ago.. The exchange rate is about 0.76 right now, so my local guy wants about $500 US for the Hawk. Like I said, seems high.. Oh, I can't forget to say thanks to John Polstra, the CVSup utility is amazing!! The entire process only took about 1.5 hours to get the new tree (including the contrib stuff) over a 33.6 modem! Wow.
