According to Doug White: > > How much RAM do you have? 75MB of swap isn't that much. Also, you want > more space in /usr than in /. I have 32 meg of RAM; my Linux swap is 64meg and works fine. What I want to do is put _all_ of the system onto my first partition, and put e.g. /home or /nerdstuff on my second big partition, where I will put my users(mostly me). Something that Jeff Bond wrote implies that I can't do that. I _certainly_ can't allow any install procedure to do any repartitioning of my new drive, since I already have stuff in the Linux part of the drive further on. If the FreeBSD install procedure insists on carving up my drive to suit itself . . . goodby to my plans of trying out FreeBSD <sob> Many thanks to the two who've replied, and I hope that others can help in this dilemma.
