in my mind,reading prompts is the most important part of installing a new OS. even when i was just trying freeBSD for a night, i found it helpful and easy to install. especially if you read the prompts. (freeBSD also has this nice little help feature... i also read every screen of my redhat install, even though i've installed several linux's before.)

OBSD's install script asks; Use the entire disk for OpenBSD? [y/N] (the capital N meaning default is no) As with any OS you're not completely familiar with, it is probably a good idea to put it where it can't cause harm. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
