It's gone from 40-something MB to 92 MB for a default install. It's really frustrating to install a system and find that / is 104% full. It looks as if even with 128 MB you're not going to have enough room to install a custom kernel+modules without deleting the generic one. -- Richard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
