I have installed fbsd 2.2.5 from floppies on my old 386. The master drive is 
200 MB with a small DOS partition and the rest partitioned for fbsd. The
second drive is 540 MB with a single fbsd partition. 

In allocating space on the small drive, I used the automatic setting so that
the system established the size of /, /var and swap. The rest (89 MB) was
assigned to /usr. But as such I can't assign /usr to the larger drive. Or,
if I do, the smaller drive is left with 89 MB of unused space. 

At present, I don't intend to use this installation for networking. I am
merely trying to learn a new and well-known os. I may want to be an X-user at
some point, but for now I'm tired of GUI's. I would appreciate info on
the optimum filespace allocation for each drive. Given the suggestion, I
think that I can handle the actual setup OK.

TIA. Scott
