Thanks. While this is an older Dell laptop as I said earlier, it still has a decent sized drive. And I am following the guidelines in the handbook at the beginning of section 2.6.5 Creating Partitions Using Disklabel: / (root) is 4 GB swap is 4 GB /var is 4 GB /usr is the rest of the disk - in this case 99 GB Bottom line, I think this is sufficient - it was for 8.2-RELEASE and -STABLE. Plus the handbook says "at least 8 GB" for /usr. Oh, and this is a "dangerously dedicated" drive housing only FreeBSD. That is, I'm using the entire disk for FreeBSD. Thanks again. Or, perhaps you are saying 4 GB is insufficient for /var? Since it seems to be complaining about not being able to write to "var/xxxx".
