FreeBSD systems are long lived. So pick a number and double it. I've been using 256Mb for some time. A minimal install will just fit in 128Mb, at least last time I checked. This gives you an alternative to the live file system CD if your disk gets trashed, and you want to attempt a repair. I usually do my vinum systems this way. -- ian j hart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
