Same experience my end too with OpenBSD. I have had a couple very rare
occasions in a long time that something may have needed

For novice users the documentation recommends using packages mainly.

Hi all,
Thanks for all the information. I had read disklabel(8) and my indication of
/usr/src was actually my mistake, it has indeed its own partition. Sorry for
that.
My disk has 80 GB so it falls under the >7GB partitioning. Regarding the fact
that the installer is flexible, I know, I was on

Hi,
Read up on the Automatic disk allocation chapter in the disklabel manual
as mentioned by Raf. Basically partitions are dynamically allocated
based on total disk-space with a few exceptions - the following paths
have their own partitions on disks larger than 7G (so you are mistaken
about t

I’m a new OpenBSD user, so please forgive me if this topic has been discussed
