Hi everyone. I was studying up on
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/installation-i386.html
which I have at home on two CD-Rs and which I plan to install this
weekend - hhooot whoot!!
Some suggestions for the freebsd.org webmaster. Perhaps others
might find these useful as well?
[1] I think the URL above ought to have a sort of organized, list of
contents at the top such as
1.3 Topic1
1.4 Topic2
1.5 Topic-Or-FAQ-Question3...
The list would be a Table of Contents at the beginning, with each
section **hyperlinked** for easier, faster knowledge transference.
[2] I noticed that the links below are general instructions, but
maybe having two very similar documents throws off some people
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/index.html
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html
[2] Lastly, some background - I came to the site seeking general
install recommendations, such as about suggested mountpoints and
slices (partition) ideology and sizes. Has this been asked before?
I have a 200GB HDD and no definite plan about setting up slices and
dirs!!
[3] Disk space required? I realize the website gives minimum
recommendations such as 160mb and 24mb RAM for example. Is it a
good idea to set up an OS-only slice / bare minimum / then have a
separate slice for my binaries and XFree86?
[4] FOUR is here as a great tip if you have not seen this page:
http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/index.pl great idea!! but
it would be neat if each 'datasheet' or 'lab report' if you will,
linked to the product listed at an official company URL e.g.
http://store.ibm.com/products.php?ThinkpadXYZ1000
