It will warn that having separate /, /usr and /var is a good idea, but it won't insist that you make them separate. I've recently installed FreeBSD on a machine with a small disk (400MB), and I just used something like 30 for swap, 380 for "/". On my machine "/" is a separate filesystem, but if you've got so little space it probably won't hurt to stick them all on one filesystem. Perhaps someone can tell me why my method is a bad idea, if it is. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
