- I think after going through the install process I have enough knowledge now
- to make the above judgements. Unfortunatly, the changes suggest, will not be
- practical. Unless I can repartition the hd without disturbing the amigados
- side and loose data in one of the directorys on the BSD side..
-
- My suggestion would be that an explanation of the various directories and min
- required to store x - x files.. Be added to the faq... I was under the
- impression that I had to have a /home /home2 /opt /usr /proj. But actually
- seeing I discovered how to use the ln -s filepath filepath command It's not a
- problem now...
