Firstly, thanks for the help so far. My disk is an IBM 27G. The Disklabel config looks like this: Part Mount Size Newfs Part ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- ad0s1a / 1024MB UFS1 Y ad0s1b swap 1024MB SWAP ad0s1d /var 256MB UFS1+S Y ad0s1e /tmp 256MB UFS1+S Y ad0s1f /usr 23545MB UFS1+S Y Also, for the "f" partition I make sure that: newfs -f 2048 -b 16384 As far as my installation specs go, I choose "All" to install everything, including source, which I want, and I choose the ports collection as well because it feels me with a sense of divine power, and I also actually use it. As you can see, my /usr mount should have plenty o' space. When I specify mount points manually I enter "/" or "/usr", not "mnt/usr". However, I've only, on most tries, been specifying the root partition and swap, so I can control those sizes, and letting the "Auto" config take over after that. Finally, when I create the initial slice, I allocate the whole space for freebsd, which I want, and I press "S" in order to ensure that it is bootable. Thanks again. Any advice is hugely appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop! http://platinum.yahoo.com
