Hi David, I like the idea of having /usr/home better, because if you don't want to have a separate partition for homes, you would at least have a huge partition (/usr) and won't run out of space quickly. If you create /home, you'll assign the rootfs space to users without a home partitions and rootfs is typically small. FreeBSD is totally fine with /home mountpoint. It won't work differently. I consider the installer procedure as a quick way to install FreeBSD. It is for people who want to try something. And you don't want to have all these "help! my rootfs is full!" support questions and explain the same thing over and over again. I think, I'm not alone when I say that I prepare the disks myself instead of using the installer. I don't even know if the new installer will be capable of installing FreeBSD like I have it installed now. -- Martin --Sig_/79_PxkfhD+UGFOCgIQeEu1G Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJOy0nNAAoJEF8wvLx/5p/7ZAIP/2tOi82H3+QoCD8rjmmcjQnM G5TSW3bpoggmNtcZ4+IWmXsEwLkpiaB4VEmJU6Cuafa0rdtuRxN2eLVqm7KYqLCi Bo+IdPV7sL6OyZ+5Vq5UCd1qCnrd17LwemZz//0UsmI+t1mkrijusdbIJC8JGtRQ eAKWMsaINlA2bw8PqLbPclI9IyKeaaOkP559wrRTi/sJGTjnZhQB3E5fPkWjp8lo 6fo33dEymIKOJmRna5d7FM+OG4qsOX6ou9C8JGMc1Z/+lPYD2prvtb3yA9L8bg2J YhEbjfOdV7IVtrYgs+pswdYTxgnQcpPn74t7b9VeknjXuZRqyLMqV4uHjB1BHwOl 0tY9XN8nIVZU2sL6APcKV7Czo+waYCR3OyMbrNy7xDrLdaZ05SfQ8YzR4aSH0caG aWqRG/EhyVR9LT748JFDbTscH4CBjnT/UNsdextbMPADNBZARaDupLU0rRqYFMXm EVMdWol4qytTJgVHInYBeIfuRPP1dUIOlxWd38gIFpqgacF4X1XHQdnSB/eDCnIe jZk7dt+G6ZSkdn5mA2ZExBftha5c1bKjYtQfaNp0dNVU4v/8xba+s8OizojXl+kU qdhiSkruLDJMJiWG8r+3Whg/GKGQi9icL1gqyME+ZNJFA9R5XMWBY7HTZJlG0C/i Zx/Z6oxcSkJFCPX6QTpi =Ix0c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/79_PxkfhD+UGFOCgIQeEu1G--
