Except for the stuff for /boot that sounds fine. /boot is small, so you can let that be part of / without any problems.

What is a > better way to do this, or is it impossible with such a small drive? The source is about 300MB, the object files created while doing a buildworld about the same. This means that with your partitioning above /usr will not be large enough. (After installing the system and downloading the source you probably had about 200MB free on /usr, which is not enough.) For such a small system I would suggest just using a single partition for the whole system. That way you won't run out of diskspace while still having free space on another partition which is what happened for you. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
