Partition sizes for small harddisk

[Renato Marques]

    Hi,
    Try this configuration
    / 128MB
    swap 32MB
    /var 32MB
    /tmp 32MB
    /usr the rest of the disk...

    I think tou will be albe to run the X too....



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
