The smallest common non-SSD laptop drive is probably around 500G now, and 1TB is routine on desktops. At least some (many? most?) of these machines are now shipping with UEFI boot, and a lot of them will be pre-loaded with Windows, with minimal resources to reload Windows from scratch. The target (and worst-case) audience is the person who bought a laptop or desktop pre-loaded with Windows 8, and wants to install OpenBSD with as little disruption to the existing system as possible. I appreciate the efforts, but we need something more comprehensive. Sounds like I need to go buy a modern Windows system. :-/ Nick. > > >> 17.11.2013 20:20 пользователь "Wesley MOUEDINE ASSABY" >> <open...@e-solutions.re> напи�ал: >> >>> Hi >>> >>> I just tested this.
