Hi David, I like the idea of having /usr/home better, because if you don't want to have a separate partition for homes, you would at least have a huge partition (/usr) and won't run out of space quickly. If you create /home, you'll assign the rootfs space to users without a home partitions and rootfs is typically small. FreeBSD is totally fine with /home mountpoint. It won't work differently. I consider the installer procedure as a quick way to install FreeBSD. It is for people who want to try something. And you don't want to have all these "help! my rootfs is full!" support questions and explain the same thing over and over again. I think, I'm not alone when I say that I prepare the disks myself instead of using the installer. I don't even know if the new installer will be capable of installing FreeBSD like I have it installed now. -- Martin
