After reading many posts on misc about the reliability of CF and since
1 GB compact flash is cheap these days I didn't bother with any of the
above and just did an install picking the sets that I needed, avoiding
x*, comp, and game:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ethant# df -k
Filesystem  1K-blocks      Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a      742540    506502    198912    72%    /
mfs:24827       15855         1     15062     0%    /tmp

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/ethant# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw,noatime 1 1
swap /tmp mfs rw,-s=32768,nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0

Nothing fancy.  noatime is the only thing different from a normal
install for me other than the fact that I split the filesystem into /,
/usr, /tmp, /var, and /home on larger disks.


Oh, yeah:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var# du -hs www
82.1M   www

And I don't know why my /usr is so much larger than Rod's:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# sudo du -hs /usr
369M    /usr
