Hi, thanks! Fortunately, no special requirements at this stage. I simply want to use it, so it needs an OS - and FreeBSD certainly beats DOS :-) 852 MB should be enough. Go with a Custom installation, and you'll need to be utterly ruthless about not installing unneeded distribution sets. Custom installation scares me a little, as I don't really know what I'm doing yet. I will try and read docs and probably start over lots of times (which is fine with me). When I really get stuck can always ask again :-) regards Mark ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Partition sizes for small harddisk
Hi I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.10 on an older computer with a 852 MB hard disk. According to the handbook, 250 MB should suffice for text mode only. However, both the User and (retried) Minimal distributions left me with no space in /usr I used the default partitioning (entire disk) and said No to the ports and linux compatibility prompts. Assuming that the defaults are optimized for larger disks, how would I best divide the available space? thanks Mark ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
