If you know how how much space you need for /home then you should take that space leaving at least 600 to 800 Meg for /usr if you are going to fiddle with lot of packages or ports. Extract your ports tarball in /usr so you will get /usr/ports directory. This is my disk configuration: /dev/wd0a 49231 32513 12780 72% / /dev/wd0s2 308280 243584 64696 79% /dos my shared dos partition - I run winNT and win95 on same disk /dev/sd0s2e 654217 585267 16613 97% /master my area to make cdrom disks (trash area) /dev/sd0s1e 1339573 850789 381619 69% /home as is /dev/wd0s3f 835775 750282 18631 98% /usr /dev/wd0s3e 59471 3513 51201 6% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc /dev/wd2s1f 2864422 350450 2284819 13% /usr2 I am building 3.0 area here for multiboot /dev/wd2s1e 29727 933 26416 3% /var2 /dev/wd2s1a 31775 13201 16032 45% /root2 I hope this will help Thordur Ivarsson thivars@est.is
