Thanks for the info. I will read it and wait till 6.0 is ready. I think with my none exesting experience of NetBSD it's not wise to install a beta version.It's mainly a few bugs that are preventing release. If you don't encounter one of these bugs, you should be fine with the beta as well. Regards, Julian
I agree with Julian. The beta is okay. I installed it and also tested rebuilding the system. Also tested New Packet Filter, which is still a bit buggy but runs reliably and I have run nmap against it with satisfactory results for IPv4 and IPv6- more than IPFilter has done after all of these years.
I am still experimenting, but here is the simple setup that I chose for NetBSD with less space, and my selections for FreeBSD do not differ very much either- to address one of the original parameters of this thread:
/ 660M 54% used /tmp 135M 0% of tmpfs /var 565M 8% used /usr 29g 22% used /home 127M 2% used /private 5g 0% usedThat is very basic and I am currently tweaking my thoughts with regards to /tmp and /var- specifically considering subpartioning var into /var/crash and the like. Also perhaps /usr/obj, /usr/pkgsrc, /usr/src, /usr/tools, and /usr/xsrc.
